Session Submission Summary

Methodological Dilemmas Encountered in Analyses and Meta-Analyses of Single-Case Design Research

Fri, April 13, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Pan Pacific, Floor: Lobby Level, Oceanview 1&2

Session Submission Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The proposed symposium pulls together nine studies focused on specific facets of the methodological complexities commonly encountered in SCD research and the procedures and models used to address them. These complexities include: small sample sizes (number of measures per participant, number of participants per study and number of studies), trajectories’ non-linearity, autocorrelated residuals, and non-equivalence of variance components within- and between-participants and studies. The symposium will consist of two types of studies including: 1) demonstrations using real SCD data of differing inferences resulting from methods and procedures used to handle the relevant methodological dilemma and 2) simulation studies that evaluate parameter recovery under authentic SCD conditions. All papers will provide the relevant code needed to estimate the relevant models.
