Expand description
Scientific method primitives for defining experiments.
This crate models the method. It does not run experiments.
Structs§
- Conclusion
- A scientific conclusion and the criterion evaluations supporting it.
- Control
- A condition held fixed while an experiment is performed.
- Criterion
Result - The structured result of evaluating a criterion.
- Dependent
Variable - A variable observed in response to an experimental change.
- Hypothesis
- A proposition an experiment is intended to test.
- Independent
Variable - A variable deliberately changed by an experiment.
- Measurement
- One named measurement and its optional unit.
- Method
Evaluation - The result of applying a scientific method to observations.
- Observation
- A measurement made under a named condition such as
baselineorcandidate. - Observation
Ref - The address of one measurement under one experimental condition.
- Observations
- The observations available when criteria are evaluated.
- Prediction
- A concrete expected observation implied by a hypothesis.
- Question
- The question an experiment is intended to answer.
- Scientific
Method - A complete statement of the scientific method for one experiment.
Enums§
- Comparator
- A comparison operator.
- Criterion
- A machine-evaluable acceptance rule.
- Criterion
Error - Why a criterion could not be evaluated.
- Direction
- Numeric direction for an improvement or regression criterion.
- Operand
- A literal value or a reference to an observed measurement.
- Outcome
- The terminal scientific interpretation of an experiment.
- Scalar
- A scalar value observed by an experiment.
