Introduction to the Special Section: Translating Advanced Quantitative Techniques for Single-Case Experimental Design Data.

Abstract

The articles in this special section offer strategies to single-case experimental design (SCED) researchers to interpret their outcomes, communicate their results, and compare the results using common, quantitative results. Advancing quantitative methods applied to SCED data will facilitate communication with scientists and other professionals that do not typically interpret graphed data of the dependent variable. Horner and Ferron aptly note that innovative statistical procedures are improving the precision and credibility of SCED research as disseminate our findings to an increasingly diverse audience. This special section promotes the translation of these quantitative methods to encourage their adoption in research using single case experimental designs.
