In the author's interpretation we consider concepts and methods of science, such as science, knowledge, model, gnosticism and agnosticism, the principle of Ashby, facts, empirical regularity, empirical law, scientific law, and others. We have formulated the main problem of the science, concluding that cognitive abilities of a human are limited and do not provide effective knowledge in a very large volume of data. The solution to this problem is to look at ways of automation of scientific research. Traditionally, we use information-measuring systems and automated systems research (ASNI) for this. However, the mathematical methods used in these systems, impose strict impracticable requirements to the source data, which dramatically reduces the effectiveness and applicability of these systems in practice. Instead of having to submit to the source data impracticable requirements (like the normality of the distribution, absolute accuracy and complete replications of all combinations of values of factors and their full independence and additivity) automated system-cognitive analysis (ASC-analysis) offers (without any pre-processing) to understand the data and thereby convert them into information and then convert this information to knowledge by its application to achieve targets (i.e. for controlling) and for solution for problems of classification, decision support and meaningful empirical research of the modeled subject area. ASC-analysis is a systematic analysis, considered as a method of scientific cognition. This is a highly automated method of scientific knowledge that has its own developed and constantly improving software tool – an intellectual system called "Eidos". The system of "Eidos" has been developed in a generic setting, independent of any domain and can be applied in all subject areas, in which people apply their natural intelligence. The "Eidos" system is a tool of cognition, which greatly increases the possibility of natural intelligence, just like microscopes and telescopes multiply the possibilities of vision (but in this case only if you have this possibility). The study proposes a new view of the models: phenomenological meaningful model, which is currently represented only by systemic cognitive models, and which is currently in the middle between empirical and theoretical knowledge. The system called "Eidos" is considered as a tool of automation of the learning process, providing meaningful synthesis of phenomenological models directly on the basis of empirical data

Hello Levani Gafrindashvili , as many of the answers pointed out, there are several methods to perform feature selection in an unsupervised way. I recommend you to look and decide what you want to achieve and identify the structure of your data. There are different methods that can be applied for feature selection on one-class or on a multiclass dataset. There are a lot of books and papers that can help you with that just by searching the term feature selection on google scholar.
On the other hand, to get insights from data, Correlation methods and clustering techniques are a good starting point. I can recommend you WEKA (https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/) to start exploring your options.
Be careful, is not the same to start to discover the relations hidden in your data and then perform feature selection than to prune your data without previous reference and then get the hidden relations.

I identified the parameters of a SISO linear parameter varying simulink model by NLSE tool-box of MATLAB R2013a. One of the model parameter is a function of the previous model output, which has been represented by using a unit delay/memory block in the simulink model.
Now I'm trying to get the output from the state space model of the same system by using the model parameter identified in earlier step. I order to get output, I used 'c2d' command at Ts=2s for discretizing the continuous state space model, however, the output is not matching with the output of the simulink model. According to my best knowledge, as the model parameters are same the output should be same for the simulink and state space model but the state space model output is underdamped in comparison of the simulink model output. Then I changed Ts=1.8s (by trial & error) then it is giving quite accurate result however the sample time in both the simulation and experimental data, based on which parameter estimation has been done, were 2 sec., that's why I set Ts=2s.
My question is, why for Ts=2s the discrete state space model is not giving accurate result?

Currently, I try to visualize knowledge about sustainable behaviour. I.e., I'd like to construct diagrams showing (primary causal) argumentations about why certain behaviours are (un-)sustainable. It would be an aim, to visualize the consequences of our actions and their environmental and societal impacts and to encourage discussions about the underlying argumentations, based on these visual representations. Ideally, such diagrams could be developed cooperatively.
Does anyone know about related work?
Does anyone even know about the existence of such "sustainability knowledge modelling languages"?
(Or do you think, the idea to visualize such sustainability-knowledge would be unproductive?)

The Club of Rome essentially did what you are asking for in its 1972 publication, "The Limits to Growth", by modelling a number of different scenarios. The results only of these scenarios were shown in a series of graphs, but not the underlying structure of the models. However, the structure of these models and subsequent models can be viewed and run using dynamic simulation software. One free software package is Vensim PLE. When using Vensim PLE (and other similar software) a conceptual model is first developed graphically using symbols for stocks, flows, and linkages. The direction of influence (positive and negative feedbacks) are then added. Quantification of influence is established by using equations and the model is then validated by comparing simulations against historical data and making necessary adjustments to the model. The validated model can then be used to create different scenarios by using slide controls to change the values of various parameters in the model. I recommend John Sterman's book "Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World".

When a teacher selects and uses examples shows an important part of their knowledge of mathematics (Subject matter Knowledge) and the mathematics teaching and learning. Following the most used teacher knowledge models, this knowledge can be placed in his or her Subject Matter Knowledge or Pedagogical Content Knowledge . In my opinion, the exemplification bring into play both areas of knowledge. The examples show the degree of knowledge of the discipline, both in its substantive and syntactic aspects, but also knowledge about mathematics teaching and learning characteristics. What do you think about?
Relevant answer
Answer
Your question seems to be revolving around two concepts to me. The first is essentially Bloom's Taxonomy, the other is the styles of learning.
When using examples, particularly the maths examples you suggest, it would fall into any number of the initial five stages under the Cognitive Domain: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, or evaluating, depending on the pedagogical function of the example.
In terms of styles of learning, this would coincide with the Logical domain, which emphasizes logic and reasoning over other approaches (such as visual/spatial, auditory, physical, or verbal, to name a few others).
While the teacher may be demonstrating their own knowledge or understanding of their subject/materials, from a learning perspective the teacher is not doing this to emphasize their own knowledge so much as to extend knowledge to others. To use examples effectively, the teacher must have a knowledge of the subject, but the purpose of using examples has less to do with reflecting Subject Matter Knowledge/Pedagogical Content Knowledge and more with the modes of teaching their subject.
While you can argue that by using examples to convey a lesson using logic-based approaches to learning is a component of pedagogical content knowledge, PCK and SMK both rely on a conscious awareness of the content; I know people who teach and have no pedagogical understanding of what they do - they just do what worked for them as a student without conscious thought.
Just my take.

Rob

we are working on knowledge repositories, there are many and many ways of modelling techniques, ontology is comprehensive and more detailed and tree based modelling techniques, whereas Meta modelling takes software engineers towards some mathematical and formal based solutions, so which should be preferred ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello,
you may want to have a look at SPIN, which offers metamodelling capabilities that can be used to complement the open world reasoning of standard reasoners for ontologies. In a blog post I recently discussed the related problem of defining a schema for an RDF-based visualisation language (RVL) within the RDF technical space (i.e. without using conventional metamodelling languages). For now I ended up using SPIN, which allows me for reusing (for example) the types already existing in the ontologies, while constraints can be added with SPIN constraints. However, currently, there is also progress on the development of a W3C standard (SHACL) to replace much of what is possible with SPIN.
Cheers,
Jan

I've been looking for a mouse model for AD research, an inducible model would be most suitable for the original experiment design. I found a few Jackson tetO transgenic models, but there seems to be few researches with these models since their early descriptions in 2005 and only tet-off strains were generated despite the fact that both tet-off models by tetO x tTA and tet-on models by tetO x rtTA were said to be feasible on the Jax mice description page. 
I was wondering why  researches with inducible AD mouse modes are done and if there are further advancements in the models themselves after the descriptions a decade ago.
Are there any limits in generation of tet-on AD models? 
little information available on the models makes me hesitate, since there are too many uncertainties. I'd really appreciate it if you can share your experience or knowledge with such models. Thanks.
Relevant answer
Answer
thanks for all your replies! I've realized that there are flaws with these inducible models and there are too many uncertainties  to be addressed. 
I agree that animal models do not sufficiently recapitulate disease progression and there is no straight answer to the ideal model. However we have to choose one that suits the experiment design.  
I've shifted my attention to commonly used transgenic mouse models for AD. I was wondering how reliable descriptions of these models can be, since there are variations in time of symptom onset and contradictions in cognitive impairments and I haven't got previous experience with transgenic mice.
