EXPERIMENTAL AND PRAGMATIC APPROACHES TO PATTERN RECOGNITION
Kybernetes, 1978A purely theoretical approach has been found to be of limited value in the solution of practical Pattern Recognition problems. Difficulties arise when relating infinite mathematics to reality, e.g. “algorithmic convergence” must be replaced by a vaguer notion of “satisfactory performance”.

The need for Pragmatic Experimentation in Educational Research
Economics of Innovation and New Technology, 2007The randomised controlled trial (RCT) is the best method for evaluating changes in educational practice. Nevertheless, it has been criticised because its results often have poor ecological validity. This valid criticism can be addressed by designing the RCT so that it mimics normal teaching practice as closely as possible, while retaining the benefits ...

A pragmatic approach to experimental design in industry
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2001The importance of statistically designed experiments in industry has been well recognized. However, the use of 'design of experiments' is still not pervasive, owing in part to the inefficient learning process experienced by many non-statisticians. In this paper, the nature of design of experiments, in contrast to the usual statistical process control ...

Pragmatic inferences of some hybrid words: An experimental pragmatic analysis [PDF]
, 2012 The objective of the present study is to verify the derivation of M-implicature(Levinson, 2000) by hybrid words. According to Levinscon(2000), when an expression is marked or non-stereotypical, the recipients assume that the reference is marked or non-stereotypical, and hybrid words are supposed to be marked and to cause M-implicature in current ...
