DOI: 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2018.0039
Abstract: Importance; Copy number variants (CNVs) classified as pathogenic are identified in 10% to 15% of patients referred for neurodevelopmental disorders. However, their effect sizes on cognitive traits measured as a continuum remain mostly unknown because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.4127
Abstract: Bayesian methods and frequentist confidence intervals are proposed as an alternative approach in ecotoxicology, emphasizing effect sizes and associated (un)certainties to judge the biological relevance of effects instead of basing decisions on p values. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jaba.938
Abstract: This article describes the use of statistical significance tests and distance-based effect sizes with behavioral data from single case experimental designs (SCEDs). Such data often are interpreted only with visual analysis. However, a growing movement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jrsm.1560
Abstract: In meta‐analysis, effect sizes often need to be converted into a common metric. For this purpose conversion formulas have been constructed; some are exact, others are approximations whose accuracy has not yet been systematically tested.… read more here.
