Statistical measure of the magnitude of a phenomenon
Effect size
In statistics, an effect size is a quantitative measure of the magnitude and often direction of a phenomenon. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size value. Examples of effect sizes include the correlation between two variables, the regression coefficient in a regression, the mean difference, the standardised mean differences, and the risk of a particular event (such as a heart attack). Effect sizes are a complementary tool for statistical hypothesis testing, and play an important role in statistical power analyses to assess the sample size required for new experiments. Effect size calculations are fundamental to meta-analysis, which aims to provide the combined effect size based on data from multiple studies. The group of data-analysis methods concerning effect sizes is referred to as estimation statistics...
