On the Potential for Using Selected PCA-Based Methods to Analyze the Crime Rate in Poland by Małgorzata Misztal

“…Classical principal components analysis (PCA) deals with two-way matrices, usually taking into account objects and variables. In the case of data analyzed in the study, apart from two dimensions (objects - voivodships, variables - criminal offences), there is also the dimension of time, so the dataset can be seen as data cube: objects × variables × time. …”

Constellating cultivation: texturing agroecological legacies with a mixed-methods approach in Hawaiʻi by Gina McGuire, Kaʻiʻinipuʻuwai P Keliihoomalu-Holz, Tiffany M Lee, Noa Kekuewa Lincoln

“…Currently, spatial models of traditional agriculture do not capture the type of systems that supported populations in the Hilo and Puna districts on Hawai‘i Island before European arrival in 1778. We utilized a mixed methods approach to address these limitations by considering Kalapana in the Puna District on Hawaiʻi Island as a case study. …”
