Mergeto Type signature discuss Talk Type signature Merge proposal date November 2008 In computer programming , especially object oriented programming , a Method computer science method is commonly identified by its unique method signature . This usually includes the method name, and the number, types and order of its parameter s. A method signature is the smallest datatype type of a method. In the Objective C programming language, method signatures for an object are declared in the interface header file. For example, id initWithInt int value defines a method tt initWithInt tt that returns a general object an tt id tt and takes one integer argument. Objective C only requires a type in a signature to be explicit when the type is not tt id tt this signature is equivalent initWithInt int value In the Java programming language Java programming language , a method signature for an object is the method name and the number and type of its parameter s. Return types are not considered to be a part of the method signature. method name parameters ... For example doSomething int y and doSomething String y Are distinct method signatures, but int doSomething int y and String doSomething int x are not distinct, and will be treated by a compiler as identical method declarations.

- Empirical method
Unreferenced date February 2009 Empirical method is generally taken to mean the collection of data on which to base a theory or derive a conclusion in science . It is part of the scientific method , but is often mistakenly assumed to be synonymous with the Experiment experimental method . The empirical method is not sharply defined and is often contrasted with the precision of the Experiment experimental method , where data are derived from the systematic manipulation of variables in an experiment . Some of the difficulty in discussing the empirical method is from the ambiguity of the meaning of its linguist root empiric . According to Oxford English Dictionary According to the Oxford English Dictionary 2nd Edition, 1989 , empiric is derived from the ancient Greek language Greek for experience, polytonic polytonic polytonic polytonic polytonic polytonic polytonic polytonic ... the trials and errors of experience.

- Method of support
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.

- Bregman method
unreferenced date March 2009 Orphan date February 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 linear programs or non strictly convex quadratic programs, additional methods such as proximal method s have been developed.

- Dumas method
for the method to determine the molecular weight of an unknown compound Dumas method of molecular weight determination The Dumas method in analytical chemistry is a method for the quantitative determination of nitrogen in chemical substance s based on a method first described by Jean Baptiste Dumas over a century and a half ago. ref name ProtAnaweb cite web url http www unix.oit.umass.edu mcclemen 581Proteins.html author Dr. D. Julian McClements title Analysis of Proteins publisher University of Massachusetts accessdate 2007 04 27 ref An automated instrumental technique has been developed which is capable of rapidly measuring the crude protein concentration of food samples and is beginning to compete with the Kjeldahl method as the standard method of analysis for protein content for some foodstuffs. The method consists of combusting a sample of known mass in a high temperature about 900 C chamber in the presence of oxygen . This leads to the release of carbon dioxide , water and nitrogen . The gases are then passed over special columns that absorb the carbon dioxide and water. A column containing a thermal conductivity detector at the end is then used to separate the nitrogen from any residual carbon dioxide and water and the remaining nitrogen content is measured. The instrument must first be calibrated by analyzing a material that is pure and has a known nitrogen concentration. The measured signal from the thermal conductivity detector for the unknown sample can then be converted into a nitrogen content. As with the Kjeldahl method , conversion of the concentration of nitrogen in a sample to the crude protein content is performed using conversion factors which depend on the particular amino acid sequence of the measured protein. The Dumas method has the advantages of being easy to use and automated. It is also considerably faster than the Kjeldahl method , taking a few ...
