Jmasm19: A Spss Matrix For Determining Effect Sizes From Three Categories: R And Functions Of R, Differences Between Proportions, And Standardized Differences Between Means, David A. Walker May 2005

Jmasm19: A Spss Matrix For Determining Effect Sizes From Three Categories: R And Functions Of R, Differences Between Proportions, And Standardized Differences Between Means, David A. Walker

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The program is intended to provide editors, manuscript reviewers, students, and researchers with an SPSS matrix to determine an array of effect sizes not reported or the correctness of those reported, such as rrelated indices, r-related squared indices, and measures of association, when the only data provided in the manuscript or article are the n, M, and SD (and sometimes proportions and t and F (1) values) for twogroup designs. This program can create an internal matrix table to assist researchers in determining the size of an effect for commonly utilized r-related, mean difference, and difference in proportions indices when …


Bias Affiliated With Two Variants Of Cohen’S D When Determining U1 As A Measure Of The Percent Of Non-Overlap, David A. Walker May 2005

Bias Affiliated With Two Variants Of Cohen’S D When Determining U1 As A Measure Of The Percent Of Non-Overlap, David A. Walker

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Variants of Cohen’s d, in this instance dt and dadj, has the largest influence on U1 measures used with smaller sample sizes, specifically when n1 and n2 = 10. This study indicated that bias for variants of d, which influence U1 measures, tends to subside and become more manageable, in terms of precision of estimation, around 1% to 2% when n1 and n2 = 20. Thus, depending on the direction of the influence, both dt and dadj are likely to manage bias in the U1 measure quite well for smaller to …
