Interpreting Cohen's d Effect Size

An Interactive Visualization

Created by Kristoffer Magnusson

Share

The Cohen’s d effect size is immensely popular in psychology. However, its interpretation is not straightforward and researchers often use general guidelines, such as small (0.2), medium (0.5) and large (0.8) when interpreting an effect. Moreover, in many cases it is questionable whether the standardized mean difference is more interpretable than the unstandardized mean difference.

In order to aid the interpretation of Cohen’s d, this visualization offers these different representations of Cohen’s d: visual overlap, Cohen’s U3, the probability of superiority, percentage of overlap, and the number needed to treat. It also lets you change the standard deviation and displays the unstandardized difference.

Probability of Superiority

Number Needed to Treat

A Common Language Explanation

With a Cohen's d of 0.80, 78.8% of the "treatment" group will be above the mean of the "control" group (Cohen's U3), 68.9% of the two groups will overlap, and there is a 71.4% chance that a person picked at random from the "treatment" group will have a higher score than a person picked at random from the "control" group (probability of superiority). Moreover, in order to have one more favorable outcome in the "treatment" group compared to the "control" group, we need to treat 3.5 people on average. This means that if there are 100 people in each group, and we assume that 20 people have favorable outcomes in the "control" group, then 20 + 28.3 people in the "treatment" group will have favorable outcomes.1

1The values are averages, and it is assumed that 20 (CER) of the "control" group have "favorable outcomes," i.e., their outcomes are below some cut-off. Change this by pressing the settings symbol to the right of the slider. Go to the formula section for more information.

Cohen’s d

Cohen’s d is simply the standardized mean difference,

,

where is the population parameter of Cohen’s d. Where it is assumed that , i.e., homogeneous population variances. And is the mean of the respective population.

Cohen’s U3

Cohen (1977) defined U3 as a measure of non-overlap, where “we take the percentage of the A population which the upper half of the cases of the Β population exceeds”. Cohen’s d can be converted to Cohen’s U3 using the following formula

where is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, and the population Cohen’s d.

Overlap

Generally called the overlapping coefficient (OVL). Cohen’s d can be converted to OVL using the following formula (Reiser and Faraggi, 1999)

where is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, and the population Cohen’s d.

Probability of superiority

This is effect size with many names: common language effect size (CL), Area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUC) or just A for its non-parametric version (Ruscio & Mullen, 2012). It is meant to be more intuitive for persons without any training in statistics. The effect size gives the probability that a person picked at random from the treatment group will have a higher score than a person picked at random from the control group. Cohen’s d can be converted CL using the following formula (Ruscio, 2008)

where is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, and the population Cohen’s d.

Number Needed to Treat

NNT is the number of patients we would need to treat with the intervention to achieve one more favorable outcome compared to the control group. Furukawa and Leucht (2011) gives the following formula for converting Cohen’s d into NNT

where is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution and its inverse, CER is the control group’s event rate and the population Cohen’s d. N.B. CER is set to 20 % in the visualization above. You can change this be pressing the settings symbol to the right of the slider. The definition of an “event” or a “response” is arbitrary and could be defined as the proportion of patients who are in remission, e.g. bellow some cut-off on a standardized questionnaire. It is possible to convert Cohen’s d into a version of NNT that is invariant to the event rate of the control group. The interested reader should look at Furukawa and Leucht (2011) where a convincing argument is given to why this complicates the interpretation of NNT.

R code to calculate NNT from Cohen’s d

Cohen's d=.80 is considered (rule-of-thumb) a large standardized mean difference between 2 groups. How much is the overlap between groups, would you guess (assuming within-group normality)? (...don't cheat but then see rpsychologist.com/cohend/)

Do any #sportscience researchers use the probability of superiority alongside effect sizes? Any links to papers would be appreciated. Interpreting Cohen's d - an interactive visualization by @krstoffr rpsychologist.com/cohend/

What a wonderful way of visualizing Cohen's d! Also, check out the other amazing tools for power analysis. Great work by @krstoffr! #statistics #neuroscience #greatfortheclassroom rpsychologist.com/cohend/

Just saw a link to this from another thread. What a great way to build intuition around effect sizes rpsychologist.com/cohend/

here is what d=.26 looks like - improvement, but not ameliorated (from excellent website: rpsychologist.com/cohend/)

awesome visualisation for interpreting cohen's d (also demonstrates why it can be so hard to interpret effect sizes!) #rstats rpsychologist.com/cohend/
