Creative Physical Experiment Design and the Students’ Ability Training—Ampere force experiment innovation as an example

Lissajus Curves: an Experiment in Creative Coding

Do you want to become a creative coder for a day? When artists use a computer to make art, they often experience the need of improving their mathematical skills. On the other hand, students with technical skills are less comfortable with aesthetic issues and creative work. In this workshop we use Processing to build two animations that involve: (1) the use of trigonometry and polar coordinates ...

Rethinking experiment design as algorithm design

As experimentation in the behavioral and social sciences moves from brick-andmortar laboratories to the web, new opportunities arise in the design of experiments. By taking advantage of the new medium, experimenters can write complex computationally mediated adaptive procedures for gathering data: algorithms. Here, we explore the consequences of adopting an algorithmic approach to experiment de...

An Introduction to Natural Experiment Studies

در دو سخن سردبیری شماره‌های قبل به مطالعات مداخله‌ای (Interventional and/or experimental studies) [1] و مطالعات نیمه تجربی (studies Quasi-experiment) [2] پرداختیم. همان جا، به این نکته اشاره کردیم که برای اندازه‌گیری کارآیی یک دارو، واکسن، برنامه بهداشت عمومی و متغیرهای دیگری از این دست، مطالعات مداخله‌ای بهترین گزینه هستند. تقسیم تصادفی و کورسازی از مؤلفه‌های اساسی یک مطالعه مداخله‌ای است [1]....

Animal Rights Consideration is a Necessity in Conducting an Experiment

The Design of Eman, an Experiment Manager

We present eman, a tool for managing large numbers of computational experiments. Over the years of our research in machine translation (MT), we have collected a couple of ideas for efficient experimenting. We believe these ideas are generally applicable in (computational) research of any field. We incorporated them into eman in order to make them available in a command-line Unix environment. Th...
