The Baconianmethod is the investigative method developed by Francis Bacon Sir Francis Bacon . The method was put forward in Bacon s book Novum Organum 1620 , or New Method , and was supposed to replace the methods put forward in Aristotle s Organon . This method was influential upon the development of scientific method in modern science , but also more generally in the early modern rejection of medieval Aristotelianism . Baconianmethod The Baconianmethod advocates inductive reasoning . By reasoning using induction Bacon meant the ability to gradually generalize a finding based on accumulating data he advised proceeding by this method building a case from the ground up . Isaac Newton , a noted Baconian, used such principles in the Philosophy section of his Principia , writing hypotheses non fingo I don t make hypotheses . He also wrote in his Optiks that hypotheses have no place in experimental science. Bacon wrote In the Novum Organum that, Our only hope, then is in genuine Induction... There is the same degree of licentiousness and error in forming Axioms, as in abstracting Notions and that in the first principles, which depend in common induction. Still more is this the case in Axioms ..., as stated in his Novum Organum . The Baconianmethod does not end at the first vintage. Bacon described ... of the Baconianmethod.

unreferenced date March 2009 Bregman s method is an iterative algorithm to solve certain convex optimization problems. The algorithm is a row action method accessing constraint functions one by one and the method is particularly suited for large optimization problems where constraints can be efficiently enumerated. The algorithm starts with a pair of primal and dual variables. Then, for each constraint a Bregman divergence generalized projection onto its feasible set is performed, updating both the constraint s dual variable and all primal variables for which there are non zero coefficients in the constraint functions gradient. In case the objective is strictly convex and all constraint functions are convex, the limit of this iterative projection converges to the optimal primal dual pair. The method has links to the method of multipliers and dual ascent method and multiple generalizations exist. One drawback of the method is that it is only provably convergent if the objective function is strictly convex. In case this can not be ensured, as for linear program s or non strictly convex quadratic programs, additional methods such as proximal method s have been developed. Category Mathematical optimization ... more details
In statistics , the method of support is a technique that is used to make inferences from datasets. According to A. W. F. Edwards , the method of support aims to make inferences about unknown parameters in terms of the relative support, or log likelihood , induced by a set of data for a particular parameter value. The technique may be used whether or not prior information is available. The method of maximum likelihood is part of the method of support, but note that the method of support also provides confidence regions that are defined in terms of their support. Notable proponents of the method of support include A. W. F. Edwards . Bibliography Edwards, A.W.F. 1972. Likelihood.

The ZhengMa Input Method Simplified Chinese , Traditional Chinese also referred to as Zheng code method is a Chinese input methods for computers Chinese language input method . The primary goal of ZhengMa design is compatibility with different types of characters ability to input both simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese , scalability it works well with extremely large sets of ideographs and ease of use, especially for people who are experienced with how ideographs are formed. For these reasons this input method is used more by scholars of the Chinese language or people who need to use both traditional and simplified Chinese. This input method is one of two stroke based input method that are included with Windows operating system Microsoft Windows . The other stroke based method is Cang Jie ref http en.wikipedia.org wiki Cangjie input method ref which can also generate both simplified and traditional characters and which is extensively taught and used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
