Web-based surveys as an alternative to traditional mail methods.
Environmental economists have long used surveys to gather information about people's preferences. A recent innovation in survey methodology has been the advent of web-based surveys. While the Internet appears to offer a promising alternative to conventional survey administration modes, concerns exist over potential sampling biases associated with web-based surveys and the effect these may have ...
متن کاملSampling Methods for Web and E-mail Surveys
This chapter is a comprehensive overview of sampling methods for web and e-mail (‘Internetbased’) surveys. It reviews the various types of sampling method – both probability and nonprobability – and examines their applicability to Internet-based surveys. Issues related to Internetbased survey sampling are discussed, including difficulties assembling sampling frames for probability sampling, cov...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms with crossover based on confidence interval as an alternative to traditional nonlinear regression methods
Most processes in the real world are controlled by nonlinear models. This explains the interest of the scienti c community in the development of new methods to estimate the parameters of nonlinear models that allow the modelling of such processes. In this article we propose a new method for the estimation of parameters for nonlinear problems using genetic algorithms with real encoding (RCGA). I...
متن کاملNon-linear eigensolver-based alternative to traditional SCF methods.
The self-consistent procedure in electronic structure calculations is revisited using a highly efficient and robust algorithm for solving the non-linear eigenvector problem, i.e., H({ψ})ψ = Eψ. This new scheme is derived from a generalization of the FEAST eigenvalue algorithm to account for the non-linearity of the Hamiltonian with the occupied eigenvectors. Using a series of numerical examples...
متن کاملIncremental Forming – an Alternative to Traditional Manufacturing Methods
New manufacturing technologies are developed fast in order to keep up with the market demands, both in the field of metal cutting and metal forming. The Asymmetric single point incremental forming (ASPIF) is a manufacturing technology with a high degree of novelty, which allows the user to manufacture complex parts by metal forming, using only a punch and an active plate without the need of usi...
