Reproducibility in Small-N Treatment Research: A Tutorial Using Examples From Aphasiology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Small-N studies are the dominant study design supporting evidence-based interventions in communication science and disorders, including treatments for aphasia and related disorders. However, there is little guidance for conducting reproducible analyses or selecting appropriate effect sizes in small-N studies, which has implications for scientific review, rigor, and replication. This tutorial aims to (a) demonstrate how to conduct reproducible analyses using effect sizes common to research in aphasia and related disorders and (b) provide a conceptual discussion to improve the reader's understanding of these effect sizes.

Method

We provide a tutorial on reproducible analyses of small-N designs in the statistical programming language R using publish
