This document discusses how predictive analytics techniques can be applied to user experience research data. It will provide examples using data from usability tests and surveys to demonstrate confidence intervals, correlation, simple linear regression, and stepwise regression. These predictive analytics methods can be applied not just to usability and survey data but also to data from other UX research methods like interviews and physiological testing. The presentation will focus on how confidence intervals are particularly important for understanding UX research findings given the small sample sizes typical of most usability studies.

TREATING WASTE WATER USING ELECTROCOAGULATION APPROACHIAEME Publication
Performance of Electro coagulation method is evaluated by treating various
sources of water. The electrodes of stainless steel are used for arranging electrolytic
cell. The treatment efficiency is assessed by varying electrical potential and
concentration time. The parameters namely pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total
Hardness, Electrical Conductivity, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were tested and results were compared to assess
the performance of treatment process. Effects of operating parameters such as
varying electrical potential (3V-12V) and concentration time (10 minutes- 30 minutes)
were evaluated for optimum operating conditions. The result shown that identified
electrolytic arrangement is significantly efficient for treating BOD and COD when
compared to other water quality parameters especially for grey and industrial water
samples. The highest removal efficiency under optimum operating condition for COD
and BOD removal were obtained with 58% and 67% in grey water sample whereas in
industrial waste water sample, the efficiencies are 53% and 57%. Further, the study
suggested the various simulations in the operating parameters with the economic
considerations to optimize the findings and for upcoming progress in the application
of this advanced technology.
Operation & maintenance aspects of a Water treatment plant.Home
Operation and maintenance of a treatment plant is task. This is done to expand the life time of the treatment plant. So its necessary to keep the water treatment plant with a good look after on the hand of operation and also in maintenance both simultaneously. The given slides show some operation and maintenance processes to carry out a water treatment plant.
Rapid sand filtration is a technique common in developed countries for treating large quantities of drinking water. It is a relatively sophisticated process usually requiring power-operated pumps for backwashing or cleaning the filter bed, and flow control of the filter outlet. A continuously operating filter will usually require backwashing about every two days when raw water of relatively low turbidity is used.

Recommending Scientific Papers: Investigating the User CurriculumJonathas Magalhães
In this paper, we propose a Personalized Paper Recommender System, a new user-paper based approach that takes into consideration the user academic curriculum vitae. To build the user profiles, we use a Brazilian academic platform called CV-Lattes. Furthermore, we examine some issues related to user profiling, such as (i) we define and compare different strategies to build and represent the user profiles, using terms and using concepts; (ii) we verify how much past information of a user is required to provide good recommendations; (iii) we compare our approaches with the state-of-art in paper recommendation using the CV-Lattes. To validate our strategies, we conduct a user study experiment involving 30 users in the Computer Science domain. Our results show that (i) our approaches outperform the state-of-art in CV-Lattes; (ii) concepts profiles are comparable with the terms profiles; (iii) analyzing the content of the past four years for terms profiles and five years for concepts profiles achieved the best results; and (iv) terms profiles provide better results but they are slower than concepts profiles, thus, if the system needs real time recommendations, concepts profiles are better.

Buffalo Wild Wings Proposal Memo:
Dear Jeff,
I am proposing to carry out a study involving the restaurant corporation, Buffalo Wild Wings. Specifically, I’d like to study the effectiveness and efficiency of the POS (Point of Sale) training. In order to complete this study, I will need to meet with several, servers, cooks, shift leaders, and even managers in order to determine the true effectiveness of these systems, as well as the training associated with them. I am asking here for formal permission to carry out this study at Buffalo Wild Wings. This study will show whether or not the current POS system and training for employees to use this POS system is up to date, or if changes need to be made for the sake of the effectiveness of the restaurant.
Many months ago, I was a dedicated server who went through POS training, and then used the POS system in the restaurant all shift long, everyday, for months. After a long while, all the problems and issues with both the POS system and with POS assistance from the shift leaders began to add up to make my work life unbearably stressful. According to Oronsky, technological training equips the teams and they become confident while doing their job (945). The problem/need for this study is that Buffalo Wild Wings desperately needs a new POS system, new POS training, or maybe even both. According to Huo, the technology has a policy of assisting its customers to make the best decision on the POS system that best serves their needs and allows them to meet demand and remain competitive while offering quality services (242). However, those are not the benefits that I see when using this specific system. Benefits to the company of increasing aid to or fixing this problem include but are not limited to: quicker order times, better table turnover, better employee knowledge, increased employer morale, faster checkouts, less managerial stress, and much more. Technological training is paramount to the understanding of the POS system procedures. Understanding the system reduces lag time between when an order is received and when delivery occurs (Ham 79). I will conduct my research based on articles and previous studies done by Buffalo Wild Wings. I will also head into the close Buffalo Wild Wings location in Laurel, MD to hopefully interview and gain perspective from some of the managers and workers in order to study if they have the same issues that I went through while working at Buffalo Wild Wings. In addition, I will collect data to see if increased training leads to better table times, tips, and better overall workplace morale.
To complete this research for this study, I will need a couple weeks to complete this study both effectively and efficiently. Also, I will fortunately not need any budget or money to invest because I have previously worked at BWW and can perform the study with off shift managers at opportune times during the slow parts of the wor.

Make It Fast: Delivering UX Research to Agile TeamsUXPA Boston
One of the biggest challenges facing UX designers working with agile teams is providing user research in a quick, effective way. Design sprints take less time than in the past and development makes it difficult to slip user feedback into the mix. Traditional research takes time to design, set up, recruit for, run and analyze. Since that could span several sprints, “traditional” research simply doesn’t work in today’s rapid pace development, and the user experience suffers. Many organizations are tackling this challenge.
We’ve brought together 4 panelists who are using methods to address the issue of rapid UX research. Panelists come from both in-house teams and agencies. We’ll share our approaches and offer practical advice about how to do it, why it works and what could be improved. We’ll cover both unmoderated tests and more traditional moderated tests. You’ll learn some new approaches and get a chance to ask questions or share your own experiences.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

today
• Basic
(and

basic)
predic've
analy'cs
you
can
apply
to
the
data
you’re
collec'ng
today!
• We’ll

data
garnered
from
moderated
and
unmoderated
usability
tests
and
surveys.
• Confidence
Intervals
• Correla'on
• Simple
Linear
Regression
• Stepwise
Regression
• We’re
going
to
concentrate
on
usability
and
survey
data,
but
you
can
apply
these
techniques
to
all
kind
of
data
that
you
might
collect
using
different
methods:
interviews,
focus
groups,
card

and
even
physiological

such
as

Confidence
Intervals:
A
good
way
to
depict
them:
6
Put
simply,
a
confidence
interval
is
an
interval
which
contains
a
popula'on
value,
such
as
the
popula'on
mean,
with
some
specified
probability,
usually,
0.95
or
95%.
7.
Confidence
Intervals
7
• Confidence
intervals
are
extremely
useful—and
even
cri'cal—to
any
UX
researcher.
• In
fact,
it’s
easy
to
make
a
case
that
construc'ng
a
confidence
interval
is
even
more
important
when
you
have
a
small
sample
size.
• And,
indeed,
that’s
exactly
what
we
have
in
most
usability
datasets.
• However…consider
the
following:

you

11. Usability
Tes'ng:
It’s
all
about
the
prep
'me……
• The
prepara'on
for
crea'ng
and
preparing
a
test
for
4
versus
8
is
almost
the
same.
That
is,
it’s
the
same
amount
of
work
to
write
up
a
test
plan,
define
the
tasks,
get
consensus
on
the
tasks,
and
coordinate
the
assets
for
the
test
whether
you’re
tes'ng
for
4
or
8.
• Admiledly,
it’s
going
to
take
longer
to
recruit
and
actually
run
the
tests,
but
it’s
probably
a
difference
of
only
one
day
of
tes'ng.

par'cipants
are
asked
to

their
agreement
with
the
statement
“Finding

on
a
scale
of
1

where
1
=

and
5
=

• Let’s
assume
that
there
was

“4”s
(4

for
an

Scale
with

• Now
assume
that
you
ran
the

test
with
only
4
par'cipants.
• Again,
aner
the
test,
par'cipants
are
asked
to
rate
their

with
the
statement
“Finding

on
a

where
1
=
Strongly

and
5
=
Strongly
Agree.
• Again,
let’s
assume
that
there
was
an
even
split
between
“3”s
and
“4”s
(2
each).
This
&me,
you
s&ll
have
an
average
of
3.5,
but
now
your

Variable
Methodology:
3.
At
the
very
end
of
the
survey
ra'ng,
you
insert
the
dependent
variable
ques'on(y):
“Imagine
that
this
search
engine
is
available
to
you
at
no
cost
to
find
qualified
candidates
using
the
candidate
databases
you
currently
employ.
Rate
your
likelihood
of
adopGng
this
candidate
search
engine
on
a
scale
of
1–5,
where
1
=
not
at
all
likely
and
5
=
extremely
likely.”

25. Correla'on
Methodology:
Excel
Screen
Shot
25
• We
can
see
that
the
correla'on
coefficient
is
+0.449.
What
this
tells
us
is
that
a
higher
sense
of
usefulness
of
a
Boolean
search
capability
is
associated
with
a
higher
likelihood
of
adop'on
of
the
search
engine.
• This
also
says
that
20.2%
(100
*
(.449)
^
2)
of
the
variability
in
likelihood
of
adop'on
of
the
search
engine
is
explained
by
a
recruiter’s
assessment
of
the
usefulness
of
having
a
Boolean
search
available.
We
can
also
determine
the
specific
rela'onship
between
the
2
variables:
27. Linear
Regression
27
• The
fundamental
purpose
of
regression
analysis
is
to
study
the
rela'onship
between
a
“dependent
variable”
(which
can
be
thought
of
as
an
output
variable)
and
one
or
more
“independent
variables”
(which
can
be
thought
of
as
input
variables).
• A
linear
regression
analysis
will
determine
the
best
fihng
slope
and
intercept
of
a
linear
rela'onship.
• In
this
scenario,
we
will
have
one
independent
variable—
this
form
of
regression
is
called
“simple
regression.”
• In
our
next
scenario,
we
will
have
several
input/
independent
variables
(i.e.,
X’s)—this
will
be
called
“mul'ple
regression.”
30. Results
• The
very
low
p-‐value(less
than
once
chance
in
a
billion!)
indicates
that
there
is
virtually
no
doubt
that
there
is
a
posiGve
linear
relaGonship
between
the
usefulness
of
the
Ability
to
do
a
Boolean
search,
and
the
Likelihood
of
AdopGon
of
the
search
engine.
•
Furthermore(and
as
noted
earlier),
the
r-‐square
value
of
0.202
means
we
es'mate
that
the
usefulness
of
Boolean,
by
itself,
explains
more
than
20%
of
the
responder’s
choice
for
the
Likelihood
of
Adop'on
of
the
search
engine
query.
• The
best

(or
“least
squares”)
line
is

if
X=3,

32. Stepwise
Regression
• Your
results
trickle
upwards
in
the
managerial
chain.
Your
CEO,
Joey
Vellucci,
exasperated
by
all
the
nega've
news
that
always
comes
from
the
usability
lab,
proclaims
to
his
VP
of
development:
“These
UX
folks
remind
me
of
Agnew’s
‘naUering
nabobs
of
negaGvism’.
Why
don’t
they
come
up
with
their
own
ideal
search
engine
instead
of
just
finding
problems
all
the
Gme
in
the
lab?”
32
35. Linear
Regression
Methodology
To
refresh
your
memory:
1.
You
launched
an
unmoderated
usability
test
of
the
current
Behemoth
search
engine
to
about
300
recruiters.
All
the
respondents
were
tasked
with
finding
good
candidates
for
the
same
three
requisi'ons.
2.
Aner
comple'ng
the
tasks
of
finding
candidates
for
the
three
posi'ons,
the
par'cipants
are
asked
to
rate
their
percep'on
of
usefulness
for
each
of
the
15
fields
in
the
search
engine,
on
a
scale
of
1–5,
where
1
=
not
at
all
useful
and
5
=
extremely
useful.

Example
3.
At
the
very
end
of
the
survey
ra'ng,
you
insert
the
moment
of
truth
ques'on:
“Imagine
that
this
search
engine
is
available
to
you
at

to

using
the

36
37. Stepwise
Regression
Example
• Stepwise
regression
is
a
varia'on
of
regular
mul'ple
regression
that
was
invented
to
specifically
address
the
issue
of
variables
that
overlap
a
lot
in
the
informa'on
they
provide
about
the
“Y”
(the
output
variable).
• It’s
an
automated
process
that
brings
variables
in
(and
once
in
a
while
out)
of
the
equa'on
one
at
a
'me.
37
38. The
beauty
of
stepwise
regression!
Stepwise
regression
has
2
excellent
quali'es:
1)All
variables
in
the
final
equa'on
are
sta's'cally
significant.
2)It
is
guaranteed
that
there
are
no
variables
not
in
the
equa'on
that
would
be
sta's'cally
significant.
38
42. Sta's'cally
significant
variables
42
• Ability
to
perform
a
Boolean
search
• Ability
to
search
by
skills
• Ability
to
search
by
job
'tle
• Ability
to
search
candidates
by
companies
in
which
they
have
worked
• Ability
to
search
by
loca'on
• Ability
to
search
by
years
of
experience
• Ability
to
search
candidates
by
level
of
educa'on
43. Stepwise
Regression
Example
Yc
=
0.528
+
0.311
*
X15
+
0.177
*
X7
+
0.121
*
X11
+
0.153
*
X1
+
0.106
*
X
+
0.106
*
X2
+
0.055
*
X6,
or,
if
we
order
the
variables
by
subscript,
Yc
=
528
+
0.153
*
X1
+
0.106
*
X2
+
0.106
*
X3
+
0.055
*
X6
+
0.177
*
X7
+
0.121
*
X11
+
0.311
*
X15.
In
other
words,
this
equa'on
says
that
if
we
plug
in
a
person’s
value
for
X1,
X3,
X6,
X7,
X11,
and
X15,
we
get
our
“best”
model
for
predicGng
what
the
person
will
choose
for
Y,
the
likelihood
on
the
5-‐point
scale
that
he/
she
will
adopt
the
search
engine.
AND,
NOTE
THAT
ALL
THE
COEFFICIENTS
ARE
POSITIVE!!

44. Stepwise
Regression
Example:
Recommenda'ons
For
your
recommenda'ons,
you
produce
a
wireframe
that
illustrates
the
user
interface
for
a
new
search
home
page:
1.
Your
new
design
shows
a
two-‐'ered
system;
a
“basic
search”
includes
the
top
seven
variables
iden'fied
as
significant
in
your
stepwise
regression
analysis.
2.
If
desired,
the
user
can
click
on
“Advanced”
search
to
reveal
the
remaining
eight
variables.
Even
though
they
were
not
staGsGcally
significant,
and
cannot
be
said
to
“add
to
the
story,”
they
nevertheless
might
be
useful
for
certain
recruiters
looking
for
a
very
specific
set
of
qualifica'ons.
