Developing and Framing Meaningful Problems
Induction into scientific practice hardly ever takes up the matter of how to formulate and frame meaningful problems. Most primers on research methods are geared to the culminating steps in research, on how to test, evaluate and dispose of hypotheses that otherwise seem to show up, like masked wrestlers, from ―parts unknown.‖ One might gather that educational and social science is mostly a tech...
متن کاملMaking Statistics Meaningful: the Merits of a Competence-based Approach
The rather poor students’ performances and the reluctance of students to attend courses were the motives for a project that entails the redesign of conventional statistics courses, into courses designed according to the characteristics of a competence-based approach that integrates research methods, statistics and psychology subjects into holistic authentic tasks throughout the psychology curri...
متن کاملMeaningful Correspondence, Local Contex and Shape Statistics in Deformable Templates
The paper presents a variational framework to compute first and second order statistics of an ensemble of shapes undergoing deformations. Geometrically “meaningful” correspondence between shapes is established via a kernel descriptor that characterizes local shape properties. Such a descriptor allows retaining geometric features such as high-curvature structures in the average shape, unlike con...
متن کاملStatistics: why meaningful statistics cannot be generated from a private practice.
We often get asked by prospective patients, physicians, and others interested in our work the general question, “What are your statistics?” or at times, more specifically, “What is your 5-year success rate with breast cancer?” or “What is your 5-year success rate with pancreatic cancer?” Many, including highly trained scientists, think this is a simple question requiring that you only divide th...
متن کاملDefining meaningful participation of developing countries in climate change mitigation
The benefits from reducing GHG emissions are not limited to a single consumer or group of consumers but are available to a large set of countries and populations across generations. Underprovision and free-riding are thus to be expected in the climate change issue. Optimal provision of this type of public good requires creating incentives for international cooperation. Game theorists have propo...
