Effect size calculations and single subject designs

Olive, Melissa. L.

Effect size calculations and single subject designs created by Melissa L. Olive and Benjamin W. Smith - An international journal of experimental educational psychology Volume 25 , number 2-3, .

This study compared visual analyses with five alternative methods for assessing the magnitude of effect with single subject designs. Each method was successful in detecting intervention effect. When rank ordered, each method was consistent in identifying the participants with the largest effect. We recommend the use of the standard mean difference (SMDall) formula and we believe the use of a regression equation for calculating effect size in single subject data should be avoided.
