EyeTribe Tracker Data Accuracy Evaluation and Its Interconnection with Hypothesis Software for Cartographic Purposes.

ABSTRACT: The mixed research design is a progressive methodological discourse that combines the advantages of quantitative and qualitative methods. Its possibilities of application are, however, dependent on the efficiency with which the particular research techniques are used and combined. The aim of the paper is to introduce the possible combination of Hypothesis with EyeTribe tracker. The Hypothesis is intended for quantitative data acquisition and the EyeTribe is intended for qualitative (eye-tracking) data recording. In the first part of the paper, Hypothesis software is described. The Hypothesis platform provides an environment for web-based computerized experiment design and mass data collection. Then, evaluation of the accuracy of data recorded by EyeTribe tracker was performed with the use of concurrent recording together with the SMI RED 250 eye-tracker. Both qualitative and quantitative results showed that data accuracy is sufficient for cartographic research. In the third part of the paper, a system for connecting EyeTribe tracker and Hypothesis software is presented. The interconnection was performed with the help of developed web application HypOgama. The created system uses open-source software OGAMA for recording the eye-movements of participants together with quantitative data from Hypothesis. The final part of the paper describes the integrated research system combining Hypothesis and EyeTribe.

Project description:Background:For evaluating the fate of xenobiotics in the environment, a variety of degradation or environmental metabolism experiments are routinely conducted. The data generated in such experiments are evaluated by optimizing the parameters of kinetic models in a way that the model simulation fits the data. No comparison of the main software tools currently in use has been published to date. This article shows a comparison of numerical results as well as an overall, somewhat subjective comparison based on a scoring system using a set of criteria. The scoring was separately performed for two types of uses. Uses of type I are routine evaluations involving standard kinetic models and up to three metabolites in a single compartment. Evaluations involving non-standard model components, more than three metabolites or more than a single compartment belong to use type II. For use type I, usability is most important, while the flexibility of the model definition is most important for use type II. Results:Test datasets were assembled that can be used to compare the numerical results for different software tools. These datasets can also be used to ensure that no unintended or erroneous behaviour is introduced in newer versions. In the comparison of numerical results, good agreement between the parameter estimates was observed for datasets with up to three metabolites. For the now unmaintained reference software DegKinManager/ModelMaker, and for OpenModel which is still under development, user options were identified that should be taken care of in order to obtain results that are as reliable as possible. Based on the scoring system mentioned above, the software tools gmkin, KinGUII and CAKE received the best scores for use type I. Out of the 15 software packages compared with respect to use type II, again gmkin and KinGUII were the first two, followed by the script based tool mkin, which is the technical basis for gmkin, and by OpenModel. Conclusions:Based on the evaluation using the system of criteria mentioned above and the comparison of numerical results for the suite of test datasets, the software tools gmkin, KinGUII and CAKE are recommended for use type I, and gmkin and KinGUII for use type II. For users that prefer to work with scripts instead of graphical user interfaces, mkin is recommended. For future software evaluations, it is recommended to include a measure for the total time that a typical user needs for a kinetic evaluation into the scoring scheme. It is the hope of the authors that the publication of test data, source code and overall rankings foster the evolution of useful and reliable software in the field.
