Details

beckerp

Hypothetical \mjseqnp values from \insertCitebecker94;textualmetap

cholest

\mjseqn

p values from trials of interventions for cholesterol lowering from \insertCitesutton00;textualmetap

edgington

Hypothetical \mjseqnp values from \insertCiteedgington72a;textualmetap

mourning

Results from a study of mourning practices of Israeli youth following the assassination of Itzakh Rabin from \insertCitebenjamini00;textualmetap

naep

Results of mathematical achievment scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress from \insertCitebenjamini00;textualmetap

rosenthal

Hypothetical example from \insertCiterosenthal78;textualmetap

teachexpect

\mjseqn

p-values from studies of the effect of manipulating teacher expectancy on student IQ from \insertCitebecker94;textualmetap

validity

Data from studies of validity of student ratings of their instructors from \insertCitebecker94;textualmetap including correlations and sample sizes as well as \mjseqnp-values

zhang

Note

The \mjseqnp-values in cholest have been re-calculated from other data given in the book and so are of higher accuracy than the ones given in the book which are only to two decimal places.
