Stanley, T. D.; Doucouliagos, Hristos – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Partial correlation coefficients are often used as effect sizes in the meta-analysis and systematic review of multiple regression analysis research results. There are two well-known formulas for the variance and thereby for the standard error (SE) of partial correlation coefficients (PCC). One is considered the "correct" variance in the…

Pek, Jolynn; Wong, Octavia; Wong, C. M. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2017
Data transformations have been promoted as a popular and easy-to-implement remedy to address the assumption of normally distributed errors (in the population) in linear regression. However, the application of data transformations introduces non-ignorable complexities which should be fully appreciated before their implementation. This paper adds to…

Schild, Anne H. E.; Voracek, Martin – Research Synthesis Methods, 2015
Research has shown that forest plots are a gold standard in the visualization of meta-analytic results. However, research on the general interpretation of forest plots and the role of researchers' meta-analysis experience and field of study is still unavailable. Additionally, the traditional display of effect sizes, confidence intervals, and…

Bessudnov, Alexey; Makarov, Alexey – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2015
Gender differences in mathematical performance have received considerable scrutiny in the fields of sociology, economics and psychology. We analyse a large data-set of high school graduates who took a standardised mathematical test in Russia in 2011 (n = 738,456) and find no substantial difference in mean test scores across boys and girls.…

Smithson, Michael – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Provides a practical introduction to methods of constructing confidence intervals for multiple and partial "R" squared and related parameters in multiple regression models based on noncentral distributions. Illustrates software use (e.g. the Statistical Package for Social Studies) for confidence intervals and discusses measures of effect…
