The extent to which economics bears on and may be influenced by normative concerns raises methodological questions about the relationships between a positive science concerning "facts" and a normative inquiry into values and what ought to be.
Methodological improvements will capture the relationships between institutions the effect on its peers of Lehman Brothers going bust, say as well as their independent risk profiles, which are commonly assessed by a measure called "value at risk" (VAR).
Although the assessment of adherence is not uniform and subject to methodological bias, the relationship between poor adherence and virological failure is not disputed [7], [18], [19].
In this paper the probability of alligator crack initiation following pavement treatments is modeled with the use of genetically optimized Neural Networks, The proposed methodological approach represents the actual (observed) relationships between of probability of crack initiation and the various design, traffic and weather factors as well as the different rehabilitation strategies.
These methodological weaknesses might have influenced findings regarding the relationships between salt preference, current lifestyle behaviors, and the willingness to undergo genetic testing.
Determining causal relationships between teamworking and outcome is riddled with methodological challenges, which may partly account for the lack of empirical research regarding predictors of effectiveness [ 1].
The relationships between these several worlds raise not only specific methodological issues, but also epistemological questions like the need of overcoming technological determinism and the socio-material perspective (Fenwick, 2010).
We present a methodological approach to use exploratory, statistical and data mining techniques for analyzing the relationships between inputs and output parameters of an agent-based model.
Previous findings regarding relationships between cortisol secretory activity and reproductive (pubertal) maturation lack clarity and may reflect methodological inconsistencies between studies.
In the following we show that by using the same methodological approach, but now with the allele interaction concept incorporated, we are able to systematically uncover relationships between gene regulatory mechanisms, allele interaction sign motifs and gene action.
