METHOD WE USE WITH EVIDENCE AND OBSERVATIONS

 Science is the study of the behavior and nature of things and the knowledge that we can obtain about them. Simply, it is a tool that use to understand the natural world. What I mentioned as natural here is all that we can observe with our senses. Science is concerned with testable knowledge of the universe's physical events. The objective of science is to figure out how the universe works. Biology is concerned with the study of living things. Biology is a scientific branch concerned with the study of living creatures. Chemistry is a branch of science concerned with the study of atoms and molecules. Natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences are the two main fields of science. Scientists use a method called "scientific inquiry" to learn more and to gain knowledge about nature and physical events.


SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY

Science can be defined as learning or understanding new things or understanding or exploring things. Inquiry means asking about information or investigating something to get for details. Therefore, we can say “Scientific Inquiry” as a method that uses evidence from observations and investigations to make logical explanations and answer questions. Normally scientific inquiry has two basic functions. First, it provides a description of how scientific inquiry is conducted in practice, and secondly gives an explanation of why scientific inquiry is successful in arriving at genuine knowledge at the end of its process. When students engage in scientific inquiry, it is an important part of science instruction that helps students to develop scientific literacy. And also, it provides students the opportunity to practice important science process skills and critical thinking and problem-solving skills.


SCIENTIFIC METHOD

The scientific method is a way of discovering knowledge about the natural world with the use of making a hypothesis and testing them. And making peer-reviewed theories that explain known data. When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to gather measurable, empirical proof in an experiment associated with a hypothesis and the results reaching to support or contradict a theory.

STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Basically, we can find five basic steps in the scientific method. And one more step to making the feedback. This scientific method is used in every science like chemistry, physics, biology, etc. Scientists, in those fields, ask questions and perform tests. However, they use an identical core approach to search out answers that are logical and supported by proof.
Here are the steps of the scientific method;
1. Observation
2. Ask a question
3. Form Hypothesis
4. Test with experiment
5. Analysis data
6. Make a conclusion

Network Intrusion Detection

Image
  Introduction At the moment we will deal with the "Network Intrusion Detection" subject. The objective of this assignment is finding computer network attacks are normal or anomalous with some features. Here, we begin with a Kaggle dataset. The "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset ( https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sampadab17/network-intrusion-detection) is a collection of network traffic data that can be used to detect and classify unauthorized or malicious activities within a computer network. Binary classification refers to the task of categorizing instances into one of two classes, in this case, normal or intrusive network traffic.   Data preparation Data preparation is an essential step in the machine learning process to ensure that the data is in a suitable format for analysis. Here are some common data preparation steps we are follow for binary classification using the "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset : Load the Dataset: Start by loa...

KNOWLEDGE THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF PHILOSOPHY

  INTRODUCTION Perception is the sensory experience of our surrounding environment. In broad, perception can be defined as organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. This is a process of physical or chemical stimulation of the sense orange by involving the signals in the nervous system. For example, when the light striking the retina of the eye it makes vision, hearing involves pressure waves. But the perception is not the passive receipt of these above signals. It is shaped by learning, memory, expectations, and attention. This is to show we organize the elements in our brain. Firstly, we select the item to attend to and block out most of everything else in the surround. Yes! It is our brain’s way of focusing on the task to give it our attention. In this case, we have chosen to attend to the image. Then, we organize the elements in our brain.  For this picture, there might some individuals who ...
