Cohen's d is biased

SD is most strongly biased for small sample sizes and bias increases with skewness. Negative values indicate that sample SD tends to under-estimate the ...

Non-parametric bootstrapping can be used to estimate and remove the bias in Cohen's d without the distribution assumption.

Bias correction for Cohen's d - PubMed

Cohen's d - a common effect size - contains a positive bias. The traditional bias correction, based on strict distribution assumption, ...

Bias correction for Cohen's d - Taylor & Francis Online

Although Cohen (1988) used the same symbol d to reference to the population effect size and its sample estimate, the popu- lation effect size is ...

What Should We Call Our Estimate of Cohen's δ: d-unbiased ...

In ITNS we used 'dunbiased' to refer to the debiased estimate of Cohen's δ, which is Cohen's standardised effect size in the population.

Cohen's d: How to interpret it? - Scientifically Sound

If we have reliability estimates of the variables of interest, we can correct a Pearson correlation or a standardized mean difference (Cohen's d ) for ...

Why is Cohen's d superior to the t-statistic as a measure of effect size?

Cohen's d is not sensitive to sample size. The formula is just the difference between two means over their combined standard deviations; in ...

Analysing a scale variable - Part 3b: Effect size (Cohen's d)

For small sample sizes (when the sample size is less than 20), Cohen's d is a bit biased and can be corrected (Zaiontz, n.d.). This is then known as Hedges ...

Cohen's d vs. Hedge's g: Which one makes more sense to choose?

In general g should be preferred but as g (uncorrected for bias) is just d * (N-2/N)^0.5 it matters very little if N is not very low. (Similarly ...

Effect size - The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles

A positive value of Cohen's d indicates that the treatment group has a greater value of whatever was measured than the control group. Negative ...
