A general framework is presented for the analysis of partially ordered set (poset) data. The work is motivated by the need to analyse poset data such as multi-componential responses in psychological measurement and partially accomplished cognitive tasks in educational measurement. It is shown how the generalized loglinear model can be used to represent poset data that form a lattice and how lat...

Many problems in evolutionary theory are cast in dyadic terms, such as the polar oppositions of organism and environment. We argue that a triadic conceptual structure offers an alternative perspective under which the information generating role of evolution as a physical process can be analyzed, and propose a new diagrammatic approach. Peirce's natural philosophy was deeply influenced by his re...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to integrate and draw attention to research findings that support our conceptualization of adherence as being multidimensional, dynamic, and involving a triadic partnership. METHODS A review of relevant articles found in Medline, PsychLit, and reference lists provided in pertinent articles was performed. RESULTS Significant progress has been made in identi...

Triadic concept analysis (TCA) is an extension of formal concept analysis (dyadic case) which takes into account modi (e.g. time instances, conditions, etc.) in addition to objects and attributes. Thus instead of 2-dimensional binary tables TCA concerns with 3-dimensional binary tables. In our previous work we generalized TCA to work with grades instead of binary data; in the present paper we s...

Biclustering numerical data became a popular datamining task in the beginning of 2000’s, especially for analysing gene expression data. A bicluster reflects a strong association between a subset of objects and a subset of attributes in a numerical object/attribute data-table. So called biclusters of similar values can be thought as maximal sub-tables with close values. Only few methods address ...

Computer games are usually studied on the basis of a sensory-motor model related to classical cinema, a model which is almost exclusively oriented towards the actuality and causality of action. This assumption of an actiondriven, Aristotelean dramaturgy does not only concern the possible world which is represented in the game, but also the playing of the game itself. We argue that such an appro...

Collaborative networked organizations (CNOs) are complex entities whose proper understanding, design, implementation, and management require the integration of different modeling perspectives. A large number of modeling tools and theories that have been developed in other disciplines have a potential applicability in this domain. Therefore, an identification of the most promising approaches is ...

The role of spelling recognition was examined in word reading skills and reading comprehension for dyslexic and nondyslexic children. Dyslexic and nondyslexic children were matched on their raw word reading proficiency. Relationships between spelling recognition and the following were examined for both groups of children: verbal ability, working memory, phonological measures, rapid naming, word...
