This project developed models and methods of estimating response ratio effect sizes in single-case designs. Current methods for response ratios make the assumption that outcomes are drawn independently from a process that is stationary in each phase, an assumption which is typically unrealistic when the observations are made repeatedly on the same individual. By elaborating an existing measurement model for behavioral observations, statistical models that can accommodate both serially-correl...

The most popular meta-analytic methods have serious limitations in diagnosing and adjusting for selective reporting, especially when there are dependencies among multiple effects from primary studies, a widespread occurrence. For meta-analysis of independent effects, selection models have shown promise in flexibly capturing complex reporting patterns while providing adjusted meta-analytic estimates, but no existing model also simultaneously addresses effect size dependencies. The purpose of ...

The School Mental Health Collaborative-Postdoctoral Research and Training Program (SMHC-PRT) aims to hire four fellows in two cohorts.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and/or moderate-to-severe intellectual delay (ID), who have complex communication needs (CCNs) typically require highly intensive, costly, and individualized educational interventions to develop a communicative repertoire. However, there is little information to guide parents and instructional personnel in selecting the most effective dose and duration of treatment. Similarly, there is a lack of guidance about when and how treatment integrity ...
