Thank you! You're the first person who can explain what the Cohen's d means in normal human language!
Exactly!!!
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I just want to say thank you, statisticsfun
! Every aspect of your work, from technology side of it, to statistics, practical examples, timing, clarity of instructions and calculations, was excellent.
Best stats video ever. Please keep making them, you're awesome at teaching :-)
Really great video. The pace, examples, and calculations were easy to follow and made the concept easy to understand. Thanks!
Yes, I very much agree. Did you use a particular user friendly software to do it @statisticsfun?
Good to hear and I appreciate the feedback.
You have *no idea* how amazingly useful this is. Thank you muchly. The use of the arrows and moving the figures like you do, helps this visual learner understand where the numbers come from.
you really can explain stats so easy. I don't know what I would do without your videos. thanks for your work!
Your videos are by far the MOST helpful in understanding stats! THANK YOU!!!!
You rock with your explanations..I"m a grad student at UC Berkeley working on my Master of Public Health and Master of Public Policy. I wish we had someone like you at Cal to explain things clearly...You have a true gift!
@Norfeldt Thanks for your comments and they are much appreciated. Yes I do have several videos on how to design experiments in the works.
That is the first thing that has made sense to me yet in my statistics class!
Dustin Perry Great to hear! Perhaps you can meet a girl in class and it will make the class worth while.
and my mind in the gutter lol
great video by the way. I'm sub'ing
@@statisticsfun What software did you use to animate? :)
The most simple and informative explanations I have come across. I wish I had found your videos earlier, THANK YOU !!!
Many thanks for the complement. I am adding more and more videos as well. Make sure to like MyBookSucks on Facebook (see link in video description).
By far one of the easiest to understand videos for Effect size! Thanks!
Hi Im currently on my 2nd year of studying BSc Psychology with Open Uni in the UK. I have looked at literary 100's of website and loads of UA-cam stuff plus reading my study books for DAYS until I finally came across your posting. Thats just the kind of example I wanted. No blah blah or complicated scribblings, just plain and simple 'this is how you do it'. Thank you
Thanks for your comment! Good luck in your studies too.
I am so glad I found this video. This topic was skipped in my econometric courses and no one could explain it clearly. Thank you very much.
I am an english teacher. I have been trying my best to understand statistics for couple of days as I want to be a researcher. This explanation is godly great!!! and very easy to understand!!!
You are welcome. I do need to add more about p value. I do have an entire playlist of confidence intervals on the channel statistics fun.
Always great to hear and I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for making this clip!!
You made it so clear and easy to understanding!!
I wished that I came across this earlier!!!
Glad to catch this before my Com Exam!!!!~
What a nice thing to say, much appreciated. Happy to know you can understand my American accent too.

Nice, slow, steady and a clear explanation. Thank you.
Thank you, this is the best explanation of Cohen’s d. With examples and discussion. Cheers
I added a link in the video description for you.
Wow! Thank you and I appreciate your feedback. Make sure you like MyBookSucks on Facebook (see link in video description). This will help others find the educational videos.
nice video. ..I have been searching the net to understand few concepts in statistics and this is by far most helpful explanation.
Very good! Thanks...this kicked my tail last night in class, but your explanation has renewed my confidence.
Great and clear. THank you for putting your time and energy into this!
@Norfeldt I use a variety of different programs to create my videos -- not just one product.
The idea behind MyBookSucks and the tagline "party more study less" is to attract those students who struggle and eventually learn to hate math subjects (stats, econ, , maths). Most students just want to pass these subjects and move on.
Great explanation! I wish all statistical concepts could be easy like this to understand, Thanks!
thanks. awesome vid. I like how calm your explanation is.
Thank you for the video! Short, clear, and concise.
Thank's so much! I really struggle and the use of the video with colour etc made this very easy to understand
Awesome to hear. Yes coordinated colour does help the mind learn.
@IceAges14Aces Well, I guess so, but typically you are trying to compare experimental results with some sort of baseline (control group).
The Cohen d or effect size compliments student T test and p values. The cohen d tries to measure the strength of a treatment or technique.
Well done with this video. That was very clear and concisely explained.
I have struggled to find anything that explains this properly. I now understand!
@statisticsfun It's funny because I never saw statistics as boring but only the way it was taught as boring. Your lectures on the other hand is much more interesting than my books - which is why your site MyBookSucks make sense. I'm looking very much forward to your future videos.
Sometimes things are boring if you don't know the use of it. How about applied statistics - how to design experiments?
I have seen different levels too. In the end the level of small, medium or large is going to depend on what you are studying. As long as the actual Cohen d is provided it really does not matter.
Thank you... They are really useful lectures. We would like to see more about p value, confidence interval and power please
Very useful. I'm a clinical psychologist and this type of measure frequently appears in psychotherapy outcome studies. Greetings from Portugal.
Thank you this really helped me to understand the use of Cohen's d!
Good question. It should be the same. Meta analysis is comparing and contrasting results from different studies and you should be able to use Cohen d to compare two studies. Make sense?
Love how you teach!
This video is so awesome.. super dope, great job man!
Simple and Brilliant video and explanation! Thank you
Amazing. Simple and clear. You definitely understand it really well!
Thank you so very much for this! Whew! I'm subscribing and watching all your videos!
Susan King Great to hear that my videos are helping you. I accepted your linkedIn request and gave you a bit of linked in love (endorsed you for a couple of skills). Good luck in your studies too.
Very awesome video. Great explanation!
wow, great job, clear and concise, please keep up good job
I felt it was complex until I came across this great video. Thank you so much sir
Wow great to hear! Make sure you subscribe cause I am always publishing new material.
good youtube videos always explain much better than my textbooks...
Finally it makes sense. Thank you!
Statisticsfun, thank you! Is the difference between the sample means in terms of standard deviation units? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
Again very effective teaching! thanks
That is almost subjective depending on what you are looking at. Often the actual Cohen D number is reported and not include "small/medium/large" wording.
Great to hear...love the user name too (ProudMamma).

Thank-you, this video was very useful and informative.
Fantastic explanation, thanks!!
Excellent explanation!
A very easy explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for the simple and effective tutorial
Perfect, many thanks!!! How would we calculate for repeated measures/paired samples, tho?
You can't get any clearer than that! Amazing
Even better than Khan academy. Very nice.
I understood it clearly, thank you!
thank you
d is an interessing measure to perform meta analysis
AN Awesome video. Thank you again for great work. I wish you the best.
This was great! Thank you again!
Another question is that according to other sources, the standard deviation in the denominator should be the pooled standard deviation: s = sqrt[((n1-1)s1^2 + (n2-1)s2^2)/(n1+n2-2)], why is this case different?
Right. the same thing I found in "Mackey & Gass(2005), p 349".
I have a questions: is it cohen's d for the groups with the same smaple size ? or we could also use this way of calculations for different group sizes? I think for different group sizes std should be calculated with weights? If so, can you shortly tell how? Otherwise, it was a very clear explanation, and thank you a lof for this video. Always when I watch your videos they are so helpful, and I feel I really learn here! :) Thank you!
Great vid. Could you explain why a statistical significant results could yield a very minimal effect size and how the distributions plots would look like and how they would overlap graphically? Thank you. This would be very helpful.
This helped me so much thank you!!
Love the explanation. Thank you...!!
I am doing a study where three treatment groups are involved compared to one control group..So will it be okay if calculate effect size using single treatment grp and control group, will there be any difference?
A very very good video.
What program did you use to make this presentation with all the effects?
(I don't like the last comment "Study less party more" - how about "Learning that makes you understand"
That was very insightful, thank you
Easy to understand. thanks. I just have 1 question. How do you interpret the result if it is minus?
why would you assume the standard deviations between the two groups are equal? Is that usually true? I'm imagining that those bell curves represent the posttest measures of the effect of the independent variable, and wouldn't those have different means and standard deviations for the two groups? How is this calculated in the SD's are different?
The original formula uses pooled standard deviation? Is this formula some kind of approximation
omg you made that so good I understand everything!
you lerie Great to hear and good luck in your classes too.
Hi, may I ask for the Mean of Control group/Experimental group, is it the mean of post-test? Or the mean of change from post- to pre-? Thanks, this question bothers me for a long time.
thank you! excellent explanation :-)
Hello,this video helped us a lot in our thesis paper :) I;d just like to asked what source you used for the verbal interpretation for cohen's d? Thank you sir.
Great video (thanks), but please make it clear that there is a bug in your formula regarding the calculation of S pooled (I was alerted by people here in the comments). Thanks again, and keep the great work.
The standard deviation pooled is that the value at baseline or after intervention?
Thank you for simple explanations, I am a visual learner and the visuals help so much. If I could make one request it would be to provide more information on how to apply this information in the real world. I am presented with problems of interpretation. :-(
Can you use the same process when dealing with paired samples?
Very easy to understand, thanks.
Thank you for your great understandable, easy, clean, and clear...video seen on youtube
Thank you so much. It was super helpful.
Amazing video!
Thank you so much for this!!!
That was well fucking done, sir. Note how I am much more inclined to use swearing as I'm not in class and you are not actually my lecturer, yet you anticipated any of my questions before I ever even asked, the way any lecturer worth his position should.
thankyouthankyouthankyou.
I use a variety of different software to create the videos including Flash, HTML5, Illustrator, Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. As yo can imagine it takes a long time to create the videos.
Thanks - Good presentation.
very clear explanation
