  1. 1Cohen's d = (Mean₁ − Mean₂) / Pooled SD
  2. 2Small: d = 0.2; Medium: d = 0.5; Large: d = 0.8
  3. 3r = d / √(d² + 4) converts d to correlation
  4. 4η² (eta-squared) used for ANOVA effect size

Worked Examples

Инпут
Group A mean 75, Group B mean 68, SD 10
Резултат
Cohen's d = (75−68)/10 = 0.7 — medium-large effect
