Wendy Chan; Larry Vernon Hedges – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2022
Multisite field experiments using the (generalized) randomized block design that assign treatments to individuals within sites are common in education and the social sciences. Under this design, there are two possible estimands of interest and they differ based on whether sites or blocks have fixed or random effects. When the average treatment…

Adam C. Sales; Ethan Prihar; Johann Gagnon-Bartsch; Ashish Gurung; Neil T. Heffernan – Grantee Submission, 2022
Randomized A/B tests allow causal estimation without confounding but are often under-powered. This paper uses a new dataset, including over 250 randomized comparisons conducted in an online learning platform, to illustrate a method combining data from A/B tests with log data from users who were not in the experiment. Inference remains exact and…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
The advent of data science has led to statistics education researchers re-thinking and expanding their ideas about tools for teaching statistical modeling, such as the use of code-driven tools at the secondary school level. Methods for statistical inference, such as the randomization test, are typically taught within secondary school classrooms…
