Current mathematical models are notoriously unreliable in describing the time evolution of unexpected social phenomena, from financial crashes to revolution. Can such events be forecast? Can we compute probabilities about them? Can we model them? This book investigates and attempts to answer these questions through G del's two incompleteness theorems, and in doing so demonstrates how influential G del is in modern logical and mathematical thinking. Many mathematical models are applied to economics and social theory, while G del's theorems are able to predict their limitations for more accurate analysis and understanding of national and international events.
This unique discussion is written for graduate level mathematicians applying their research to the social sciences, including economics, social studies and philosophy, and also for formal logicians and philosophers of science.

Описание: Without of course adopting a Platonic metaphysics, the eighteenth-century philosophes were Grecophiles who regarded the Athenian philosophers as their intellectual forbearers and mentors. Aprerequisite for this power was knowledge of the underlying causes of natural events, knowledge that required quantitative precision.

Описание: This book provides a useful guide for researchers, reviewers, and consumers who are charged with judging the quality of qualitative studies.
This invaluable resource guides readers through the process of creating scholarly, publishable prose from the results of quantitative experiments and investigations. It delves into the issues commonly encountered when reporting the results of statistical experiments and investigations, and provides instruction re the representation of these results in text and visual formats. This unique research companion serves as a must-have reference for advanced students doing quantitative research and working with statistics, with the goal of writing up and publishing their findings; it also serves as a useful refresher for experienced researchers.

Описание: What can language tell us about society? Looking at a range of genres, from political speeches to internet chat, this book shows how qualitative methods are used to analyse discourses throughout the social sciences. The practical problems of designing and conducting discourse-based research are solved in this key resource for all social scientists.

Описание: A variety of power tools for data analysis, based on non-parametric regression or smoothing techniques, are described in this text. These methods relax the usual linear assumption in many standard models, allowing the analyst to uncover structure in data.
Описание: Gregor Wiedemann evaluates text mining applications for social science studies with respect to conceptual integration of consciously selected methods, systematic optimization of algorithms and workflows, and methodological reflections relating to empirical research. In an exemplary study, he introduces workflows to analyze a corpus of around 600,000 newspaper articles on the subject of “democratic demarcation” in Germany. He provides a valuable resource for innovative measures to social scientists and computer scientists in the field of applied natural language processing.
Описание: An important part of the Artificial Intelligence theory is concerned with reasoning based on uncertain information. Classical logic and probability theory are not adequate for this, and many formalisms have been developed. The proceedings contained here aim to contribute to the elucidation of similarities and differences between these formalisms.

Описание: Discusses the practical pathologic diagnoses of tumours and tumour-like diseases of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum. The authors emphasise pathologic gross and light microscopic diagnostic features and differential diagnoses. They also discuss the clinical presentation and the clinical meaning of the pathologic diagnosis in terms of prognosis and treatment.
Описание: The papers collected in this volume focus on new perspectives on individuals, society, and science, specifically in the field of socio-economic systems. The book is the result of a scientific collaboration among experts from “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Ia?i (Romania), “G. d’Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy), 'University of Defence' of Brno (Czech Republic), and 'Pablo de Olavide' University of Sevilla (Spain). The heterogeneity of the contributions presented in this volume reflects the variety and complexity of social phenomena.The book is divided in four Sections as follows. The first Section deals with recent trends in social decisions. Specifically, it aims to understand which are the driving forces of social decisions. The second Section focuses on the social and public sphere. Indeed, it is oriented on recent developments in social systems and control. Trends in quantitative theories and models are described in Section 3, where many new formal, mathematical-statistical tools for modelling complex social phenomena are presented. Finally, Section 4 shows integrative theories and models; particularly, it deals with the ethical, cultural and political approaches to social science, the pedagogical methods, and the relationship between literature, politics, religion and society.The book is addressed to sociologists, philosophers, mathematicians, statisticians, people interested in ethics, and specialists in the fields of communication, social, and political sciences.
