Exam 7: Analyzing Data When You Are Evaluating a Single Client

When you employ the BC design, you engage in the same statistical analysis procedures as with the AB design, except that:

The standard deviation is a statistic that assumes independent data rather than paired data.

It is necessary for the number of measurements for the baseline and treatment periods to be equal.

Please explain with example why the standard deviation approach would not be appropriate for analysis in certain situations involving the AB single-subject design.

When single subject designs are used:

When you use binomial test for the AB Design and when the data are measured as a dichotomy the two factors that are important in the calculation of statistical significance are:

In the standard deviation approach to analyze data in single subject designs, the normal distribution is understood to have:

When you have measured your client six times before treatment begins, six times while giving the first treatment, and six times while giving the second treatment, while analyzing data:

In a single-system design, the baseline period in which the client is being measured before treatment begins is referred to as the treatment phase with the label A.

In the limited AB single design:

When you use Excel to analyze data from a single subject design where you had only one baseline measurement:

In the ABC single-subject design:

The standard deviation approach, in the case of the AB single-subject design, analyzes whether the treatment scores are enough standard deviations better than the baseline scores to be significantly different.

When you measure a single client several times during the baseline period and several times during the first treatment period; and change the nature of your treatment and measure the client several times during this second treatment period, it is known as:

While it is true that most evaluative studies are about groups of people, there are single-subject designs that measure:

When you are measuring one client repeatedly and you have a single baseline score and several treatment scores, in order to calculate the difference between the baseline and the treatment score you can employ:

Please explain the relevance of ABC single-subject design.

Please explain with example how you will use the binomial test when you measure client behavior as a dichotomous variable in the AB design.

When you use the upper two standard deviation method, you are answering the question whether the treatment mean is at least two standard deviations different than the baseline mean.

Please explain the process of testing the hypothesis that the treatment mean will be higher than the baseline mean, when using the AB design.
