I need definitions and concepts for attributes, axion, bias,causal relationship,causal reasoning, cross sectional studies,contingency, case study
In mathematics, the word attribute is used to describe a characteristic or feature of an object—usually within a pattern—that allows for grouping of it with other similar objects and is typically used to describe size, shape, or color of objects in a group.
An axiom is a proposition regarded as self-evidently true without proof. Eg : Like saying a triangle has 3 sides.
A bias is a systematic (built-in) error which makes all values wrong by a certain amount. Example: You always measure your height wrong by wearing shoes with thick soles.
A causal relationship between two events exists if the occurrence of the first causes the other. The first event is called the cause and the second event is called the effect.
Causal reasoning is the process of identifying causality. It is the idea that any cause leads to a certain effect, and is an example of inductive reasoning.
Cross sectional study is a descriptive study of a situation at one particular time. It provides a snapshot of the current conditions but does not explain the cause and effect (causal) linkages among their components or constituents.
The definition of a contingency is something that depends on something else in order to happen. An example is a particular strategy of a team that is applied when half the members defect.
A case study is a report of descriptive information on data of research of an experiment, project, event or analysis.
Cheers!
