Effect Size

A measure of the magnitude of a difference or relationship, independent of sample size, such as Cohen's d or a correlation coefficient.

Definition

Very large samples can make trivial effects statistically significant, so effect size together with confidence intervals conveys practical importance.

Exam tip

A tiny p-value doesn't imply a big effect; report the effect size.
