  • Data Science, Interactive Visualizations, and Generative AI Tools for the Analysis of Qualitative, Mixed-Methods, and Multimodal Evidence

    • 1st Edition
    • Manuel González Canché
    • English
    Too many qualitative and mixed-methods researchers are currently being asked to make an impossible choice: either remain outside the world of advanced data science and artificial intelligence, or enter it by learning programming, relying on expensive proprietary platforms, and uploading sensitive data to external servers. This book begins from a different premise: researchers should not have to choose between rigor, accessibility, privacy, and interpretive depth. Data Science, Interactive Visualizations, and Generative AI Tools for the Analysis of Qualitative, Mixed-Methods, and Multimodal Evidence presents an integrated methodological ecosystem for ethical and equity-driven data science in qualitative and mixed-methods research. It is designed for scholars working with textual, relational, temporal, affective, spatial, visual, and multimodal evidence who want access to rigorous data science and AI-supported analytic tools without needing to master programming, pay recurring fees, or surrender control of sensitive materials.The book introduces a fully local, no-code ecosystem of software tools for analyzing complex evidence across multiple layers of inquiry—from language and structure to time, emotion, interaction, and context. Special attention is given to ISARI (Intelligent Systems for Academic Research Integration), a fully offline, open-source, multimodal brainstorming partner designed to support scholarly memoing, comparison, synthesis, and evidence-grounded writing. ISARI is presented not as a substitute for interpretation, but as part of a broader local analytic environment in which computational outputs remain accountable to researchers’ judgment and to participants’ original evidence.This is not a book about replacing researchers with AI. It is a book about giving researchers ethical, privacy-conscious, and equity-driven access to advanced analytic tools that have too often remained restricted to those with programming expertise or privileged institutional support. By bringing together interactive visualizations, machine learning, natural language processing, geocontextualization... temporal analysis, relational modeling, and local generative AI, this book offers a practical and forward-looking vision for doing rigorous research without compromising transparency, scholarly control, or data sovereignty. It is intended for researchers, faculty, graduate students, institutional analysts, and interdisciplinary scholars interested in expanding their analytic toolkit while preserving methodological accountability and interpretive authority.

The author's groundbreaking theory of "noncommutative" row–column determinants is central to this exploration, a significant advancement beyond the Moore determinant. This seven-chapter work thoroughly introduces the history of noncommutative determinants before delving into the author's theory and its application to inverse matrix computation and Cramer's rule for quaternion systems. The main portion of this work is dedicated to a comprehensive examination of quaternion generalized inverses, spanning the well-established Moore–Penrose and Drazin inverses to more recent developments such as core-EP and composite inverses. The book provides their definitions, properties, and, uniquely, their determinantal representations based on the author's noncommutative determinants. It culminates in demonstrating their powerful applications in solving a wide range of quaternion matrix equations, including Sylvester-type and constrained equations, as well as differential matrix equations.

    International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 103: Stochastic Theory of Service Systems focuses on the principles, methodologies, and approaches involved in the stochastic theory of service systems. The publication first examines the general description of service systems, characteristics of the arrival process, standard cases, and the distribution of waiting-times in the system M/M/c-delay. Discussions focus on "random" condition, probability of delay and average waiting-time for the system M/M/c-delay, Engset formula, and probability of blocking for the system M/M/c-blocking. The text then examines general holding-time assumption, non-stationary behavior, and priority. Topics include pre-emptive priority, transient behavior of the system M/G/1-delay, Markov process with a finite number of states, and hyperexponential distributions. The manuscript takes a look at simulation, arrival and service in batches, and restricted availability, including approximate determination of probabilities of blocking, "unscheduled ferry problem", principles of roulette simulation, and implementation of randomness. The publication is a dependable source material for researchers interested in the stochastic theory of service systems.

    • English
    Approximation Theory and Applications: Piecewise Linear and Generalized Functions presents the main provisions of approximation theory, and considers existing and new methods for approximating piecewise linear and generalized functions, widely used to solve problems related to mathematical modeling of systems, processes, and phenomena in fields ranging from engineering to economics. The widespread use of piecewise linear and generalized functions is explained by the simplicity of their structure. However, challenges often arise when constructing solutions over the entire domain of these functions, requiring the use special mathematical methods to put theory into practice. This book first offers a first full foundation in approximation theory as it relates to piecewise linear and generalized functions, followed by staged methods to resolve common problems in practice, with applications examined across structural mechanics, medicine, quantum theory, signal theory, semiconductor theory, mechanical engineering, heat engineering, and other fields.
