Calculating Effect Sizes for Single Subject Designs 10.1
Classes of Effect Size Formulae Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) Identify the lowest baseline point Count the number of non-overlapping intervention points Calculate the proportion of non-overlapping to total number of intervention points (can’t use if baseline has a zero point)
PND = 8/10 = 80%
Classes of Effect Size Formulae Standard Mean Difference Subtract the mean of the baseline phase from the mean of the intervention phase Divided by standard deviation of baseline
SMD all = 7.23SMD 3 = 8.25

Classes of Effect Size Formulae Percentage Reduction (mean baseline reduction) Subtract the average of last 3 Tx points from the average of the last 3 baseline points Divide by the average of the last 3 baseline points Multiply by 100 for percent of baseline reduction
MBR=339.00
Classes of Effect Size Formulae Regression Models Regression equation obtained for baseline Regression equation obtained for Tx data Tx substracted from baseline and divided by standard deviation of baseline
