| Summary |
"The book is intended for applied researchers and students who may not have quantitative backgrounds. Readers will learn how to measure effect size on continuous or dichotomous outcomes in comparative studies with independent or dependent samples. They will also learn how to calculate and correctly interpret confidence intervals for effect sizes. Numerous research examples from a wide range of areas illustrate how to apply these principles and how to estimate substantive significance instead of just statistical significance. Additional alternatives to statistical tests are described, including meta-analysis, resampling techniques like bootstrapping, and Bayesian estimation."--BOOK JACKET |
