Metrics That Make a Difference: How to Analyze Change and Error (Advances in Geographic Information Science)
by Robert Gilmore Pontius JrYour government warns that 10% of your neighbors have a deadly contagious virus. The producer of a diagnostic test advertises that 90% of its tests are correct for any population. The test indicates that you have the virus. This book’s author claims your test has a 50% chance of being false, given your test’s result. Who do you believe? This book gives you insights necessary to interpret metrics that make a difference in life’s decisions.This book gives methods and software that are essential to analyze change and error. Change describes a phenomenon across time points. Error compares diagnoses with the truth. Other texts give insufficient attention to these topics. This book’s novel ideas dispel popular misconceptions and replace previous methods. The author uses carefully designed graphics and high school mathematics to communicate easily with college students and advanced scientists. Applications include but are not limited to Remote Sensing, Land Change Science, and Geographic Information Science.“A wide range of tools to aid understanding of land cover and its change has been used but scientific progress has sometimes been limited through misuse and misunderstanding. Professor Pontius seeks to rectify this situation by providing a book to accompany the researcher’s toolbox. Metrics That Make a Difference addresses basic issues of relevance to a broad community in a mathematically friendly way and should greatly enhance the ability to elicit correct information. I wish this book existed while I was a grad student.” – Giles Foody, Professor of Geographical Information Science, The University of Nottingham“Metrics That Make a Difference provides a comprehensive synthesis of over two decades of work during which Dr. Pontius researched, developed, and applied these metrics. The book meticulously and successfully guides the reader through the conceptual basis, computations, and proper interpretation of the many metrics derived for different types of variables. The book is not just a mathematical treatise but includes practical guidance to good data analysis and good science. Data scientists from many fields of endeavor will benefit substantially from Dr. Pontius’ articulate review of traditionally used metrics and his presentation of the innovative and novel metrics he has developed. While reading this book, I had multiple ‘aha’ moments about metrics that I shouldn't be using and metrics that I should be using instead.” – Stephen Stehman, Distinguished Teaching Professor, State University of New York
Metriken für das Testreporting
by Frank WitteZu jeder Softwareentwicklung gehört es dazu, das Management regelmäßig über Fortschritte und etwaige Probleme des Projekts zu informieren. Dieses Buch stellt verschiedene Testgrößen und Metriken vor, mit denen sich Fortschritte im Rahmen eines Softwaretests plastisch darstellen lassen und Handlungsbedarf leicht zu identifizieren ist. Detailreich werden dazu die für ein erfolgreiches Reporting wesentlichen Kenngrößen und Indexwerte erklärt. Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung des Testreportings erläutert der Autor den grundsätzlichen Nutzen der Metriken und gibt einen Überblick darüber, welche verschiedenen Arten von Metriken es gibt und wie sie im Softwaretest sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können. Er zeigt, wie sich, angefangen bei der Testspezifikation über die Testdurchführung bis hin zur Entwicklung der Testabdeckung, eine bestimmte Metrik individuell auf eine zu testende Software abstimmen lässt und wie man dadurch eine Automatisierung der Tests erreichen kann. Daneben stellt er Vorzüge und Nachteile jener Testmetriken auf, die auf Fehlern basieren, also die die Fehleranzahl, die Fehlerdichte und die Entwicklung der Fehler im Zeitverlauf messen. Mit dieser ausführlichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Testreporting liefert der Autor eine optimale Bewertungsgrundlage, mit der sich nicht nur einschätzen lässt, welche Testmetrik man für welchen Einsatzzweck bzw. welche individuellen Projektsituation verwenden sollte, sondern auch, worin besondere Probleme einer einzelnen Metrik für das Testreporting bestehen können und wie man diese Probleme am besten löst. Damit richtet sich dieser praktische Leitfaden vor allem an Mitarbeiter in IT-Projekten, wie Projektleiter, Softwaretester und Entwickler, aber auch Unternehmens- und Technologieberater sowie Dozenten an Hochschulen und Universitäten finden hier einen spannenden Einblick in verschiedene Methoden des Softwaretestings.
Mexico's Drug War and Criminal Networks: The Dark Side of Social Media (Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics)
by Nilda M. GarciaMexico's Drug War and Criminal Networks examines the effects of technology on three criminal organizations: the Sinaloa cartel, the Zetas, and the Caballeros Templarios. Using social network analysis, and analyzing the use of web platforms Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, Nilda M. Garcia provides fresh insights on the organizational network, the central nodes, and the channels through which information flows in these three criminal organizations. In doing so, she demonstrates that some drug cartels in Mexico have adopted the usage of social media into their strategies, often pursuing different tactics in the search for new ways to dominate. She finds that the strategic adaptation of social media platforms has different effects on criminal organization’s survivability. When used effectively, coupled with the adoption of decentralized structures, these platforms do increase a criminal organization’s survival capacity. Nonetheless, if used haphazardly, it can have the opposite effect. Drawing on the fields of criminology, social network analysis, international relations, and organizational theory and featuring a wealth of information about the drug cartels themselves, Mexico's Drug War and Criminal Networks will be a great source for all those interested in the presence, behavior, purposes, and strategies of drug cartels in their forays into social media platforms in Mexico and beyond.

Mi vida perra: Diario de una treintañera cualquiera
by Almudena MonteroMi vida perra es una sucesión de textos tan directos y vivos como el día a día que reflejan. Tan sorprendentes y cambiantes como las formas de relación en la nueva era de internet. «Lo malo de vivir sola es que pasas demasiado tiempo mirándote la bragueta. Y cuando observas mucho algo, no suele gustarte demasiado. Entonces te regañas, te peleas contigo misma, te largas con el perro dando un portazo, o mejor al cine y así no tienes que seguir escuchándote. Al salir, te apetece hablar con alguien, pero a ver a quién le cuentas que ya no te soportas, que no puedes más, o que te vas a separar de ti misma por culpa de tus problemas de convivencia.» Los textos de Mi vida perra han sido extraídos del blog de Almudena Montero, escritora y guionista que un día decidió compartir su intimidad a través de la pantalla de su ordenador. Durante unos meses nos infiltramos en su apartamento y asistimos a cuanto vive, piensa, desea o tan solo imagina. La soledad, el desencuentro con la pareja, el sexo casual, los amigos de toda la vida, los paseos con su perro Baldo o las crisis de identidad ocupan estas páginas, teñidas de ironía ácida y de un sentido del humor iconoclasta.
