A Conceptual Introduction To Modeling

Qualitative and Quantitative Perspectives

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The gap between "quantitative" and "qualitative" modellers is dealt with in this book. It discusses reconciling the need to impose rigour and to understand the influence of context. With many uses for models, there is also the realistic possibility of doing credible research without their use.
