TRUE
FALSE

14. Complete the text:

A short or realization of a certain or idea to a treament's feasibility for metadefinitions is called a proof of .

15. True or False, A control group may be used in metadefinitions to demonstrate no effect or a standard effect versus a novel effort applied to a treatment group.

TRUE
FALSE

16. Evidence that demonstrates that a model or idea versus a control group is feasible for metadefinitions is called a

.

17. True or False, A dominant group associated with metadefinitions differs from a control group in that it rules the treatment of the control group.

TRUE
FALSE

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. Metadefinitions are a special subset of definitions.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
