Sociologists have always been interested in the attitudes and beliefs of social groups, and much methodological refinement has come about by engaging with the problems posed by trying to get at other people’s feelings. A key method of attitude research is the interview, and, as we will see, it has a central role in a diversity of research designs.

Artificial Intelligence, 1986
Qualitative simulation is a key inference process in qualitative causal reasoning. However, the precise meaning of the different proposals and their relation with differential equations is often unclear. In this paper, we present a precise definition of qualitative structure and behavior descriptions as abstractions of differential equations and ...

We add a binary operator ≥ to the logical language, with intended meaning of φ<ψ: ‘φ is at least as likely, probable, or trustworthy, as ψ’. The operator ≥ is interpreted on Kripke structures, making it possible to define the standard necessity operator □ in terms of ≥.

Current NHS policies emphasise the involvement of patients and place them centre stage in the evaluation of health care. The unique experiences and views that patients can bring to health service research can be understood as complementary to staff skills.

Artificial Intelligence, 1992
In practical applications, the study of systems of nonlinear ODE's is often approximated by a set of their values and a qualitative statement about the derivatives on typical points of time called the history record. The author investigates the assumptions that are to be made in order to allow for an additive superposition of such records, as it is ...

A framework for the representation of qualitative distances is developed inspired by previous work on qualitative orientation. It is based on the concept of "distance systems" consisting of a list of distance relations and a set of structure relations that describe how the distance relations in turn relate to each other.

Qualitization and Models of Qualitization
2019Given the broad and vague character of the concept of quality, and given the relativity of quality perspectives, the concept itself does not prescribe how it is going to be used. It does not set itself in motion. Let us look at how it happens.

Qualitative interviewing has today become a key method in the human and social sciences, and also in many other corners of the scientific landscape such as education and the health sciences. Some have even argued that interviewing has become the central resource through which the social sciences—and society—engages with the issues that concern it ...

Adventures in qualitative modeling-a qualitative heart model
Conference Proceedings., IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2003Traditional reasoning methods have found limited success in the medical domain due to their brittleness and lack of robust justification. Recent work has turned to model-based reasoning techniques to overcome these limitations. These techniques employ deep domain models and focus on qualitative reasoning. A discussion is presented of an ongoing project

AbstractQualitative modeling concerns the representations and reasoning that people use to understand continuous aspects of the world. Qualitative models formalize everyday notions of causality and provide accounts of how to ground symbolic, relational representations in perceptual processes. This article surveys the basic ideas of qualitative modeling
