What is your perception on using visual analysis or quantitative approaches to evaluate data from single-case research designs (n of 1 trials)?

Results of single-case research designs (i.e., n-of-1 trials) are often evaluated by visually inspecting the time-series graph and computing quantitative indices. A question our research team is...

It's a nice theoretical paper on the limits of detection.

Cheers,

Maurice

edit:

Something that could be of interest too, when publishing qPCR data, are the MIQE guidelines:
