Usually you include what is important and innovative about your paper.

If there is a method more than half of your domain uses, and you use it too, there is no point writing about that in the title. If there are three competing methods, you may choose to include it in the title or not. If you use a method maybe 5% of your coleagues use, say, because it requires three times the effort for 20% accuracy gain, by all means, include it. If your research is testing a new method on known set of data, it's the method that is a must in the title, not what is being checked.

Essentially, the title says what's special about your research. If the method is, it belongs. If it's generic, it does not.
