Calculation method

Calculation method

Cohen d

Pooled variance weighted by n-1; g=d(1-3/(4df-1)).

Hedges g (approximate correction)

Pooled variance weighted by n-1; g=d(1-3/(4df-1)).

Pooled SD

Pooled variance weighted by n-1; g=d(1-3/(4df-1)).

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Independent groups; no paired standardization. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Independent groups; no paired standardization.
