Comparative Law as Method and the Method of Comparative Law

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
This article addresses both the justificatory role of comparative law within legal research (comparative law as method) and the method of comparative law itself. In this connection two questions will be answered:1. Is comparative law a method, or a set of methods, for legal research?2. Does comparative law have a proper method of its own?

On Comparing Comparative Methods

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1992
Virtually every field in the biological sciences uses comparative, cross-taxonomic analysis. Unlike experimental study, comparative analyses have historically relied on simple correlation of traits across species. In the past ten years, especially since publication of a few landmark papers (e.g. 13, 24), this straightforward comparative methodology has

Comparing Learning Methods

International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence, 2009
In this article we perform some experiments to study how an automatic system learns a set of rules from its interaction with an artificial environment. In particular, we are interested in comparing these capabilities to the skills shown by humans to learn the same rules in similar conditions. We perform this analysis by conducting two experiments.

The internal comparator method

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2004
An internal comparator method is proposed which offers reliable instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) results for samples with an irregular geometry and/or measured at the closest position to the Ge detector. Because the selected internal comparator in the sample analyzed will receive exactly the same thermal neutron flux as the other ...

Comparative methods and evolution

2002
Comparative biology provides a framework for the study of evolution, by seeking answers to the question of why traits evolved. However, the difficulties of making inferences about the biological causes of trait variation and covariation resulted in the development of very different approaches to comparative analyses, which are outlined and contrasted ...

Adaptation and the comparative method

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2000
Over the past two decades, it has become widely accepted that phylogenies need to be incorporated into statistical analyses of interspecific data. However, recent debate has focused on whether it is appropriate to apply phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) to the study of adaptation.

Comparative Politics and the Comparative Method

American Political Science Review, 1971
This paper is a systematic analysis of the comparative method. Its emphasis is on both the limitations of the method and the ways in which, despite these limitations, it can be used to maximum advantage.The comparative method is defined and analyzed in terms of its similarities and differences vis-à-vis the experimental and statistical methods.
