Direct linkWong, Manyee; Cook, Thomas D.; Steiner, Peter M. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
Some form of a short interrupted time series (ITS) is often used to evaluate state and national programs. An ITS design with a single treatment group assumes that the pretest functional form can be validly estimated and extrapolated into the postintervention period where it provides a valid counterfactual. This assumption is problematic. Ambiguous…

Wong, Manyee; Cook, Thomas D.; Steiner, Peter M. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2009
Interrupted time-series (ITS) are often used to assess the causal effect of a planned or even unplanned shock introduced into an on-going process. The pre-intervention slope is supposed to index the causal counterfactual, and deviations from it in mean, slope or variance are used to indicate an effect. However, a secure causal inference is only…

Deke, John; Dragoset, Lisa; Moore, Ravaris – National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, 2010
In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) where the outcome is a student-level, study-collected test score, a particularly valuable piece of information is a study-collected baseline score from the same or similar test (a pre-test). Pre-test scores can be used to increase the precision of impact estimates, conduct subgroup analysis, and reduce bias…
