সারসংক্ষেপ	Bayesian hypothesis testing research is a quantitative design in which competing hypotheses are evaluated by updating prior beliefs with observed data to produce posterior probabilities and Bayes factors. Unlike frequentist null-hypothesis significance testing, it quantifies the relative evidence for each hypothesis, supports optional stopping, and allows accumulation of evidence across studies without inflating Type I error rates.	Confirmatory research is a deductive quantitative design in which the researcher specifies hypotheses derived from existing theory before data collection, then tests whether the data support or refute those hypotheses. Unlike exploratory approaches that generate ideas from data, confirmatory research begins with an established theoretical framework, pre-registers predictions, and applies statistical tests to evaluate those predictions against empirical evidence. It is the backbone of hypothesis-driven social, behavioral, and health science inquiry.
