The
goal of this book is to inform a broad readership about a variety of
measures and estimators of effect sizes for research, their proper
applications and interpretations, and their limitations. Its focus is on
analyzing post-research results. The book provides an evenhanded
account of controversial issues in the field, such as the role of
significance testing. Consistent with the trend toward greater use of
robust statistical methods, the book pays much attention to the
statistical assumptions of the methods and to robust measures of effect
size.
