Hi,
Recently I was reading a paper from Will G Hopkins about magnitude-based inferences and downloaded his related spreadsheet. This concept is new for me and still gives me a lot of doubts. Indeed I did not understand what he means as "value of effect statistic" and what he considers beneficial (+ive) or harm (-ive). Someone can help me ?
Thanks in advance
For me this is also a new concept. Perhaps, it could be related to the statistical methods used in epidemiology (?)
I had the same question of you. I don't know if you still need this answer, but 'Value of effect statistic' is the measure of 'Effect Size' (obtained through Cohen or Edges approach).
magnitude-based inference(MBI) is an interpretation that clinicians need in their evidence-based approach. Due to clinical heterogeneity and small sample sizes, clinicians' decision-making about an treatment is not only based on statistical significance, but an overall interpretation of effects including benefits and harms of a treatment, confidence interval (range of uncertainty).
