A History of Effect Size Indices
Abstract
Depending on how one interprets what an effect size index is, it may be claimed that its history started around 1940, or about 100 years prior to that. An attempt is made in this article to trace histories of a variety of effect size indices. Effect size bases discussed pertain to (a) relationship, (b) group differences, and (c) group overlap. Multivariable as well as univariate indices are considered in reviewing the histories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
