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...

Applied doesn't have a native mac version so for both you will have to use a virtual windows machine on your computer.

It have been a while but BioRad used to have a mac version for their qPCR software and I quite liked the CFX when I worked with it (nearly 10 years ago).

Stepone plus is slower than Quantstudio 3: slower heating and cooling.

The Design and Analysis software v2.6 is Mac compatible and can be used to analyse data for both the SOP and QS3. The latter is meant to be a standalone device and certainly newer and with improved flexibility and more user friendly etc. Touch based if you wanted to explore more.
