A Robust Root Mean Square Standardized Effect Size In One-Way Fixed-Effects Anova, Guili Zhang, James Algina

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A robust Root Mean Square Standardized Effect Size (RMSSER) was developed to address the unsatisfactory performance of the Root Mean Square Standardized Effect Size. The coverage performances of the confidence intervals (CI) for RMSSER were investigated. The coverage probabilities of the non-central F distribution-based CI for RMSSER were adequate.

Estimating Internal Consistency Using Bayesian Methods, Miguel A. Padilla, Guili Zhang

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Bayesian internal consistency and its Bayesian credible interval (BCI) are developed and Bayesian internal consistency and its percentile and normal theory based BCIs were investigated in a simulation study. Results indicate that the Bayesian internal consistency is relatively unbiased under all investigated conditions and the percentile based BCIs yielded better coverage performance.
