Qualitative Data Analysis: An Expanded Sourcebook

1994 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: In 1984, the first edition of `Qualitative Data Analysis` addressed a critical need faced by researchers in all fields of the human sciences - how to draw valid meaning from qualitative data. It provided methods of analysis that were practical, credible and reliable. This groundbreaking book has now been revised to take up where the first edition left off and account for the phenomenal expansion of qualitative inquiry since then. In this second edition, Miles and Huberman bring the art of qualitative data analysis up to date, adding hundreds of new techniques, ideas and references that draw on the experience of the authors and many colleagues in the design, testing and use of qualitative data analysis methods. Each method of data display and analysis is described and illustrated in detail, with practical suggestions for adaptation and use. The growth of computer use in qualitative analysis is reflected throughout this volume, which also includes an extensive appendix on criteria… [detailed...]

Qualitative Motion Understanding (KLUWER INTERNATIONAL SERIES IN ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mobile robots operating in real-world, outdoor scenarios depend on dynamic scene understanding for detecting and avoiding obstacles, recognizing landmarks, acquiring models, and for detecting and tracking moving objects. Motion understanding has been an active research effort for more than a decade, searching for solutions to some of these problems, however, it still remains one of the more difficult and challenging areas of computer vision research. Qualitative Motion Understanding describes a qualitative approach to dynamic scene and motion analysis, called DRIVE (Dynamic Reasoning from Integrated Visual Evidence). The DRIVE system addresses the problems of (a) estimating the robot`s egomotion, (b) reconstructing the observed 3-D scene structure, and(c) evaluating the motion of individual objects from a sequence of monocular images. The approach is based on the FOE (focus of expansion) concept, but it takes a somewhat unconventional route. The DRIVE system uses a qualitative scene… [detailed...]

Qualitative Organizational Research: Best Papers from the Davis Conference on Qualitative Research (Advances in Qualitative Organization Research (Information Age Partnership).)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOver the past five years the Davis Conference on Qualitative Research has welcomed research projects by the very best qualitative, organizational researchers in the world. This conference has helped authors develop and hone theoretical ideas in an environment friendly to qualitative methods, and more importantly, has begun to build a community of qualitative researchers that work on organizational and management issues. The authors winning the `Best Presentation Awards` at the Davis Conference over the past five years have contributed chapters to this volume. The ideas in these chapters were `born` before the conference, but were nurtured through dialogue at the conference, and subsequently matured through later interactions among the community of qualitative scholars associated with the conference. As such, this volume represents the fruits of our collective labor as a qualitative research community. This collective and iterative process is a hallmark of qualitative… [detailed...]

Qualitative Reasoning: Modeling and Simulation with Incomplete Knowledge (Artificial Intelligence)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents, within a conceptually unified theoretical framework, a body of methods that have been developed over the past fifteen years for building and simulating qualitative models of physical systems - bathtubs, tea kettles, automobiles, the physiology of the body, chemical processing plants, control systems, electrical systems - where knowledge of that system is incomplete. The primary tool for this work is the author`s QSIM algorithm, which is discussed in detail. Qualitative models are better able than traditional models to express states of incomplete knowledge about continuous mechanisms. Qualitative simulation guarantees to find all possible behaviors consistent with the knowledge in the model. This expressive power and coverage is important in problem solving for diagnosis, design, monitoring, explanation, and other applications of artificial intelligence. The framework is built around the QSIM algorithm for qualitative simulation and the QSIM representation for… [detailed...]
