Cohen's d is a generalized effect size measure. It is the difference between two group means scaled by the combined standard deviation. Cohen's d is used frequently in Jacob Cohen's text on power analysis, mostly to simplify the presentation of tables.

Cohen's d calculation when within group variance is zero

In your case --- because both samples have zero variance --- the denominator in the formula for Cohen's d will be zero. Reporting the result as "infinite" may be the only option. As a side note, sin …

Converting between correlation and effect size (Cohen's d)

The relationship described for Cohen's d and Pearson's r isn't for paired data. It's for unpaired data. For r, one variable is the two groups and the other is measurement variable. I've attached a p …

Cohen's D on transformed data for effect sizes

Answer based on my comment: Cohen's d doesn't make any inferences, and so doesn't have "assumptions" about the distribution of the data (or population). It simply calculates the difference in means an …

Effect size interpretation for Cliff's delta similar to Cohen's "small, medium and large eff...

Vargha and Delaney (2000) give interpretations of their A statistic: small, >= 0.56; medium, >= 0.64; large, >= 0.71 The corresponding values they give for Cliff's delta are: small, >= 0.11; medium …

How do I convert Cramer's V to Cohen's d?

There is no general method to convert Cramér's V to Cohen's d. Both statistics are considered effect size statistics, but they convey different kinds of information. Cohen's d compares values from a …

How to Simulate T-Values for Two Different Samples

The following is R code to explore the difference in Cohen's d for two samples of different size, both selected from the same population. (Here, normal with mean = Mean, sd = SD, and sample sizes, Sma …

Converting unstandardised regression coefficients to Cohen's d for meta-analysis

Cohen's d compares the means of two groups, specifically standardized relative to the standard deviation of these groups. With two continuous variables, standardized effect size statistics would inclu …
