Towards a Second Order Research Methodology
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the need for re-examining the cognitive perspective on the role of language in social research. From the autopoietic perspective, language is not a tool to reveal an objective world; rather language is a venue for action, coupling the cognitive domains of two or more agents. Responsible research enquiry would seek to create systemic communication practices that allow the co-existence of differing understandings within. Creating a dialogue for exploring and emerging meaning is essential in developing understanding and validating the research results.

متن کاملHow to Upgrade Propositional Learners to First Order Logic: A Case Study
We describe a methodology for upgrading existing attribute value learners towards rst order logic. This method has several advantages: one can proot from existing research on propositional learners (and inherit its eeciency and eeectiveness), relational learners (and inherit its expressiveness) and PAC-learning (and inherit its theoretical basis). Moreover there is a clear relationship between ...
متن کاملTowards unifying second-order theory of likelihoods and pseudolikelihoods
Theory is developed to show that second-order distributional behaviour of pseudolikelihood ratios can be modified to resemble that of likelihood counterparts by means of a suitable adjustment. The latter is conceived to enable the Bartlett correction for pseudolikelihood ratios when inference focuses on a scalar parameter. The proposed methodology can be framed in the likelihood setting where i...
متن کاملResponse Surface Methodology for Optimizing Adsorption Process Parameters of Amaranth Removal Using Magnetic Layer Double Hydroxide (Fe3O4/ZnFe-LDH)
ABSTRACT Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the adsorption parameters of Amaranth onto magnetic layer double hydroxide (Fe3O4/ZnFe-LDH). Such optimization was undertaken to ensure a high efficiency over the experimental ranges employed, and to evaluate the interactive effects of the initial concentration of Amaranth, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time on...
