A Different Future For Social And Behavioral Science Research, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky May 2003

A Different Future For Social And Behavioral Science Research, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The dissemination of intervention and treatment outcomes as effect sizes bounded by conf idence intervals in order to think meta-analytically was promoted in a recent article in Educational Researcher. I raise concerns with unfettered reporting of effect sizes, point out the con in confidence interval, and caution against thinking meta-analytically. Instead, cataloging effect sizes is recommended for sample size estimation and power analysis to improve social and behavioral science research.


Small Sample Power Characteristics Of Generalized Mixed Model Procedures For Binary Repeated Measures Data Using Sas, Matthew Beckman, Walter W. Stroup Apr 2003

Small Sample Power Characteristics Of Generalized Mixed Model Procedures For Binary Repeated Measures Data Using Sas, Matthew Beckman, Walter W. Stroup

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

Researchers in the agricultural and biological sciences often conduct experiments with repeated measures and categorical response variables. Recent advances in statisticalcomputing have made several options available to analyze data from these experiments. For example, SAS has several procedures based on generalized mixed model theory. These include PROC GENMOD, MIXED, NLMIXED, and the GLIMMIX macro. Inference for these procedures depends on asymptotic theory. While statistics literature contains some information about the small-sample behavior, there is much that remains unknown. This presentation will focus on Bernoulli response variables. Power characteristics are compared via simulation for several scenarios involving relatively small repeated measures …
