“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Weimer, Jon and Hart, Arlie (1989): Dollars and Sense: Using Effect Size Estimates to Make Design Decisions. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 602-605.

“An alternative to using large numbers of test participants is offered for HF professionals with limited budgets. This alternative justifies design decisions using effect size estimates which have been calculated from published data germane to the design of the particular system. The calculations for effect size estimation are given in simple algebra, using only the information available from published ANOVA summary tables.”

Weimer, Jon (1987): Confounded Experimental Designs and Human Factors Research. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 222-223.

“The use of confounded factorial designs has been seriously neglected in the human factors literature. A confounded factorial is constructed by systematically confounding blocking variables with one or more interactions which are believed to be statistically insignificant or inconsequential to the researcher. These designs offer the advantages of increased economy and power. These designs are especially useful when research is being conducted on military personnel and subjects must be selected from different military facilities, which may result in heterogeneous subject populations. A concrete example illustrates how confounding of this type can be used to the researcher's advantage through the tailored construction of a confounded design.”
