Meta-Analytic Procedures for Social Research (Applied Social Research Methods)
Robert Rosenthal

Sage Publications, Inc, 1984

Rosenthal sets out to describe meta-analytic procedures (the quantitative summary of a research domain) in sufficient detail for readers either to carry them out for themselves, or evaluate the procedures when used by others. The book addresses itself to techniques for solving the problems of poor cumulation and small effects -- both of which are sources of pessimism in the social and behavioural sciences. The level of mathematical ...

Sequential Approximate Multi-Objective Optimization Using Computational Intelligence (Vector Optimization)
Hirotaka Nakayama, Min Yoon, ...

Springer, 2009

This book highlights a new direction of multi-objective optimzation, which has never been treated in previous publications. When the function form of objective functions is not known explicitly as encountered in many practical problems, sequential approximate optimization based on metamodels is an effective tool from a practical viewpoint. Several sophisticated methods for sequential approximate multi-objective optimization using computational ...

Metaclasses and Their Application: Data Model Tailoring and Database Integration (Lecture Notes in Computer ...

Springer, 1995

Conventional object-oriented data models are closed: although they allow users to define application-specific classes, they usually come with a fixed set of modelling primitives. This constitutes a major problem, as different application domains, e.g. database integration or multimedia, need special support. Using an extended metaclass concept, this book provides for the solution of this problem a simple but extendible open object-oriented data ...
