While formal methods form a part of many methodologies, modern software development uses a rich mixture of methods and techniques.
Futures research was now aimed at integrating systems analysis and modelling into a mixture of methods under the banner of a reflected, socially-orientated understanding of the "discipline".
When researching the future, no one method is appropriate in isolation [22] and a mixture of methods need adopting as a form of triangulation of the abstract target being achieved.
However, the authors recognised that a mixture of methods can present new findings; thus, the survey was followed by semi-structured interviews to draw out some of the nuances of the responses.
To assist with their conceptual model development, the authors study a phreatic system and apply a mixture of methods traditional and novel to karst studies, including electrical resistivity imaging, well drilling, instantaneous velocimetry, dye tracing, stage recording, discrete and continuous sediment and water quality sampling, and elemental and stable carbon isotope fingerprinting.
The community assessment suggests that a mixture of methods may be an advantageous strategy for identifying signaling proteins from flow-cytometry data.
Volunteers used a mixture of methods during the intervention.
We employed a mixture of methods to develop items for assessing HLHO.
We used a mixture of methods in our study [ 8, 10- 15].
Furthermore, and where appropriate, a mixture of methods involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches could be employed allowing for further understanding of the unmeasured variables.
