TL;DR: An argument for the case study method in marketing research is presented, examining various criteria for judging the quality of the method and highlighting various techniques, which can be addressed to achieve objectivity, and rigorous and relevant information for planning to marketing actions.
Abstract: Despite the advantages of the case study method, its reliability and validity remain in doubt. Tests to establish the validity and reliability of qualitative data are important to determine the stability and quality of the data obtained. However, there is no single, coherent set of validity and reliability tests for each research phase in case study research available in the literature. This article presents an argument for the case study method in marketing research, examining various criteria for judging the quality of the method and highlighting various techniques, which can be addressed to achieve objectivity, and rigorous and relevant information for planning to marketing actions. The purpose of this article is to invite further research by discussing the use of various scientific techniques for establishing the validity and reliability in case study research. The article provides guidelines for achieving high validity and reliability for each phase in case study research.

TL;DR: Six new transfer functions divided into two families, s-shaped and v-shaped, are introduced and evaluated and prove that the new introduced v- shaped family of transfer functions significantly improves the performance of the original binary PSO.
Abstract: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the most widely used heuristic algorithms. The simplicity and inexpensive computational cost makes this algorithm very popular and powerful in solving a wide range of problems. The binary version of this algorithm has been introduced for solving binary problems. The main part of the binary version is a transfer function which is responsible to map a continuous search space to a discrete search space. Currently there appears to be insufficient focus on the transfer function in the literature despite its apparent importance. In this study six new transfer functions divided into two families, s-shaped and v-shaped, are introduced and evaluated. Twenty-five benchmark optimization functions provided by CEC 2005 special session are employed to evaluate these transfer functions and select the best one in terms of avoiding local minima and convergence speed. In order to validate the performance of the best transfer function, a comparative study with six recent modifications of BPSO is provided as well. The results prove that the new introduced v-shaped family of transfer functions significantly improves the performance of the original binary PSO.
