It is important to understand how the application of research guides the intent and scope of a research approach.

Using the "CST-560 Research Design Template" provided:

1. Identify a topic that would correlate to the specified research design/approach related to your field of study.(HR) Remember, in computational sciences data is not always collected, but it can be simulated. You can consider research topics that require a quantitative design, but utilize data that is simulated or generated. Note: You may want to consider topics that you can use for your Capstone Proposal. (HR Related)
2. a purpose statement to clearly summarize the specific topic and goals.
3. Provide 1-2 research questions that narrow the type of research to be conducted and the objective of the topic.
4. a research question/hypothesis that clearly predicts the possible outcome of the study.
5. Identify several parameters needed in conducting a literature review for this design/approach.

Special Note: Make sure one of the research approaches applies methods from calculus, linear algebra, or statistics, as this will be used in the Topic 4 Benchmark Assignment.

Then , explain which approach you feel would produce the best results and why compared to the other approaches. Make sure to include a discussion of the associated philosophical worldviews, research methods, and research strategies.
