    Symbolically, the method of concomitant variation can be represented as (with ± representing a shift): A B C occur together with x y z A± B C results in x± y z. ————————————————————— Therefore A and x are causally connected. Unlike the preceding four inductive methods, the method of concomitant ...

    Some researchers include a metacognitive component in their definition. In this view, the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e., they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence.

    Graphical model: Whereas a mediator is a factor in the causal chain (top), a confounder is a spurious factor incorrectly implying causation (bottom). In statistics, a spurious relationship or spurious correlation [1] [2] is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third ...

    By drawing a boundary around a study area, two types of problems in measurement and analysis takes place. [7] The first is an edge effect. [13] This effect originates from the ignorance of interdependences that occur outside the bounded region. [13] Griffith [14] [8] and Griffith and Amrhein [15] highlighted problems according to the edge ...

  9. Sociology of scientific ignorance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology_of_scientific...

    The sociology of scientific ignorance (SSI) is the study of ignorance in and of science. The most common way is to see ignorance as something relevant, rather than simply lack of knowledge. There are two distinct areas in which SSI is being studied: some focus on ignorance in scientific research, whereas others focus on public ignorance of science.
