Li, Wei; Dong, Nianbo; Maynarad, Rebecca; Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are commonly used to evaluate educational interventions, particularly their effectiveness. Recently there has been greater emphasis on using these trials to explore cost-effectiveness. However, methods for establishing the power of cluster randomized cost-effectiveness trials (CRCETs) are limited. This study…

Dong, Nianbo; Kelcey, Benjamin; Spybrook, Jessaca – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Researchers are often interested in whether the effects of an intervention differ conditional on individual- or group-moderator variables such as children's characteristics (e.g., gender), teacher's background (e.g., years of teaching), and school's characteristics (e.g., urbanity); that is, the researchers seek to examine for whom and under what…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Benjamin; Dong, Nianbo – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) to evaluate the impact of educational programs and interventions. These studies are often powered for the main effect of treatment to address the "what works" question. However, program effects may vary by individual characteristics or by context,…

Dong, Nianbo; Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
The purpose of this study is to propose a general framework for power analyses to detect the moderator effects in two- and three-level cluster randomized trials (CRTs). The study specifically aims to: (1) develop the statistical formulations for calculating statistical power, minimum detectable effect size (MDES) and its confidence interval to…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben; Dong, Nianbo – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs), or studies in which intact groups of individuals are randomly assigned to a condition, are becoming more common in evaluation studies of educational programs. A specific type of CRT in which clusters are randomly assigned to treatment within blocks or sites, known as multisite cluster randomized trials (MSCRTs),…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs), or studies in which intact groups of individuals are randomly assigned to a condition, are becoming more common in the evaluation of educational programs, policies, and practices. The website for the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE) reveals they have launched over 30…
