EFFECT SIZE CALCULATION (estimación)

Whereas statistical significance tests assess the reliability of the relationship between independent and dependent variables, effect sizes assess the strength of the relationship. In general, you need to know the effect size you hope to achieve to calculate statistical power.

Effect size can be measured as the standardized difference between two means, or as the correlation between the independent variable classification and the individual scores on the dependent variable, referred to as the effect size correlation.

Cohen's d

Cohen defined d as the difference between the means, M1-M2, divided by the standard deviation of either group. For example, the groups in your study could refer to the experimental and control groups. The standard deviation of either group in your study can be used when the variances of the two groups are homogeneous.

Effect sizes are generally defined as small (d = 0.2), medium (d = 0.5), and large (d = 0.8).

Several formulas could be used to calculate effect size. According to Cohen:

d = M1-M2 / Ö [( s1² + s 2²) / 2]

d = M1-M2 / s, where s = Ö [å (X - M)² / N]

In this case X is the raw score, M is the mean, and N is the number of cases.

F-test ANOVA Effect Size

For ANOVA, the effect size index f is used. You can compute the effect size index from the group means. Effect sizes are generally defined as small (f = 0.1), medium (f = 0.25), and large (f = 0.4).

Correlations Effect Size

To evaluate the null hypothesis that a product moment correlation in the population is zero (r = 0). The effect size symbol is r. Effect sizes are generally defined as small (r = 0.1), medium (r = 0.3), and large (r = 0.5).

Regression Effect Size

Effect size for regression reflects the variance accounted for by some source in the population relative to the residual variance proportion (η2). Effect sizes are generally defined as small (η2 = 0.02), medium (η2 = 0.15), and large (η2 = 0.35).
