This text shows researchers and students how to design and set up mixture experiments, then analyze the data and draw inferences from the results. Virtually every technique that has appeared in the literature of mixtures can be found here, and computing formulas for each method …
Throughout the history of economic ideas, it has often been asserted that experimentation is impossible, yet, in fact, history shows that the idea of ' experimentation' has always been important, and as such has been interpreted and put to use in many ways. Rich in historical de…
Presents an introduction to experimental mathematics. This title covers a variety of topics and examples to give the reader a sense of the state of play in the field of experimental mathematics. It features explanations that are enhanced by relevant historical facts and stories …
Nicholas Rescher undertakes a systematic survey of the role and utility of thought experiments in philosophy. After surveying the historical issues, Rescher examines the principles involved, and explains the conditions under which thought experimentation can validly yield instru…
This manual offers a wide range of class-tested experiments designed explicitly for use in small to mid-sized lab programmes. It provides a series of integrated experiments that emphasize the use of computerized instrumentation
In less than a decade, Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample have emerged as two of architecture's most daring experimenters. Their New York City-based studio MOS is home to an unusually eclectic band of collaborators for whom new media technologies offer not simply better means of…
Ethnography by Design, unlike many investigations into how ethnography can be done, focuses on the benefits of sustained collaboration across projects to ethnographic enquiry, and the possibilities of experimental co-design as part of field research. The book translates specific…
"Methods in Behavioral Research" has achieved its market-leading position with its concise and strategic approach to methodological decision making. Combining helpful pedagogy and rich examples, Cozby's tenth edition again incorporates learning objectives, illustrative graphics,…
Newton's bucket, Einstein's elevator, Schrodinger's cat - these are some of the best-known examples of thought experiments in the natural sciences. But what function do these experiments perform? Are they really experiments at all? Can they help us gain a greater understanding o…
