It's the Effect Size, StupidWhat effect size is and why it is important Robert CoeSchool of Education, University of Durham, email r.j.coe@dur.ac.uk Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the British Educational Research Association, University of Exeter, England, 12-14 September 2002 Abstract Effect size is a simple way of quantifying the difference between two groups that has many advantages over the use of tests of statistical significance alone.

It's the effect size, stupid: what effect size is and why it is important

Effect size emphasises the size of the difference rather than confounding this with sample size. 'Effect size' is simply a way of quantifying the size of the difference between two groups. The routine use of effect sizes, however, has generally been limited to meta-analysis - for combining and comparing estimates from different studies - and is all too rare in original reports of educational research (Keselman et al., 1998).

Matlab is a tool for doing numerical computations with matrices and vectors.

Matlab

It can also display information graphically. The best way to learn what Matlab can do is to work through some examples at the computer. After reading the " getting started " section, you can use the tutorial below for this. Getting started Here is a sample session with Matlab. . % matlab >> a = [ 1 2; 2 1 ] a = 1 2 2 1 >> a*a ans = 5 4 4 5 >> quit 16 flops In this example you started Matlab by (you guessed it) typing matlab. The tutorial below gives more examples of how to use Matlab. Matrices To enter the matrix and store it in a variable a, do this: >> a = [ 1 2; 3 4 ] Do this now: define the matrix a. To redisplay the matrix, just type its name: >> a Once you know how to enter and display matrices, it is easy to compute with them. >> a * a Wasn't that easy? >> b = [ 1 2; 0 1 ] Then we compute the product ab: >> a*b Finally, we compute the product in the other order: >> b*a Of course, we can also add matrices: >> a + b x y.

Trefethen numerical ODE/PDE textbook

Trefethen Available online -- see below This 325-page textbook was written during 1985-1994 and used in graduate courses at MIT and Cornell on the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The book has not been completed, though half of it got expanded into Spectral Methods in MATLAB. The files currently online are missing some tables, figures, and text that are not available in PostScript or are in copyright; a list of some of these omissions is available. Thanks to Darryl Yong of Harvey Mudd College for converting these PostScript files into searchable pdf files.
