Quantifying the user experience: practical statistics for user research / by J. Sauro and J. Lewis - Broek van den, Egon L.
Before I started to read this book, I searched for the authors’ definition of user experience (UX). To my surprise, I did not find one. Of course, I may have missed it; however, if it is really missing then this is definitely a weak aspect of the book. The reason I started with this search is because many people have issues with UX, usability, and related concepts. These terms are often used without scoping or defining them, which diminishes the value of work conducted in this field. For the purposes of this review, I will adopt the International Organization for...

A practitioners guide to resampling for data analysis, data mining, and modeling: a cookbook for starters - Broek van den, Egon L.
A practitioner’s guide to resampling for data analysis, data mining, and modeling provides a gentle and pragmatic introduction in the proposed topics. Its supporting Web site was offline and, hence, its potentially added value could not be verified. The book refrains from using advanced mathematics and as such is useful for undergraduate courses for a broad range of sciences. Moreover, it is a suitable book for some first hands on experience with data mining. However, it is neither suitable as a resource for advanced issues nor has it much added value compared to its redecessors.

A practitioner’s guide to resampling for data analysis, data mining, and modeling / P.I. Good (Ed.). - Boca Raton, FL : Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2011. - ISBN 978-1-439855-50-8 - Broek van den, Egon L.
With sufficient books on data mining and more than enough books on statistics on the shelf, I found myself drawn by the “practitioner’s guide” aspect of this book’s title. Compact as the book is, it promised something different from all the books on my shelf. Consequently, this review will focus on the book’s use in practice. The preface advertises http://statcourse.com/PGsoftware.htm, which should provide “code for most resampling methods” and “code for many of the routines.” However, at the start of 2012, only a few months after the book was released, this Web site is not online. However, the main Web...
