Îïèñàíèå: With a new discussion on the philosophy of science and an expanded focus on research ethics and sampling, this second edition continues to give readers an interdisciplinary account of the logic of social science research
Îïèñàíèå: ‘Network’ is a heavily overloaded term, so that ‘network analysis’ means different things to different people. Specific forms of network analysis are used in the study of diverse structures such as the Internet, interlocking directorates, transportation systems, epidemic spreading, metabolic pathways, the Web graph, electrical circuits, project plans, and so on. There is, however, a broad methodological foundation which is quickly becoming a prerequisite for researchers and practitioners working with network models.From a computer science perspective, network analysis is applied graph theory. Unlike standard graph theory books, the content of this book is organized according to methods for specific levels of analysis (element, group, network) rather than abstract concepts like paths, matchings, or spanning subgraphs. Its topics therefore range from vertex centrality to graph clustering and the evolution of scale-free networks.In 15 coherent chapters, this monograph-like tutorial book introduces and surveys the concepts and methods that drive network analysis, and is thus the first book to do so from a methodological perspective independent of specific application areas.

Îïèñàíèå: This book provides an up-to-date review of commonly undertaken methodological and statistical practices that are based partially in sound scientific rationale and partially in unfounded lore.
Îïèñàíèå: Brings together the lectures presented at the 5th Metaphysics of Science Workshop held from June 2 to 3, 2005, in Ghent, Belgium. This title includes discussions on a central topic in analytical metaphysics. It addresses the methodological question by examining what can be learned if we compare these discussions from a methodological perspective.
Îïèñàíèå: In this detailed critique of scientific methodology in the social sciences, the aim is to develop a consistent approach applicable across a range of disciplines. It thus facilitates more reliable transmissibility of results between differing academic fields.
