Peter Z. Schochet – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2025
Random encouragement designs evaluate treatments that aim to increase participation in a program or activity. These randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can also assess the mediated effects of participation itself on longer term outcomes using a complier average causal effect (CACE) estimation framework. This article considers power analysis…

Nianbo Dong; Benjamin Kelcey; Jessaca Spybrook – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Multisite cluster randomized trials (MCRTs), in which, the intermediate-level clusters (e.g., classrooms) are randomly assigned to the treatment or control condition within each site (e.g., school), are among the most commonly used experimental designs across a broad range of disciplines. MCRTs often align with the theory that programs are…

Peter Schochet – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Random encouragement designs are randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that test interventions aimed at increasing participation in a program or activity whose take up is not universal. In these RCTs, instead of randomizing individuals or clusters directly into treatment and control groups to participate in a program or activity, the randomization…

Yanli Xie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this dissertation is to develop principles and strategies for and identify limitations of multisite cluster randomized trials in the context of partially and fully nested designs. In the first study, I develop principles of estimation, sampling variability, and inference for studies that leverage multisite designs within the context…

Brown, Seth; Song, Mengli; Cook, Thomas D.; Garet, Michael S. – American Educational Research Journal, 2023
This study examined bias reduction in the eight nonequivalent comparison group designs (NECGDs) that result from combining (a) choice of a local versus non-local comparison group, and analytic use or not of (b) a pretest measure of the study outcome and (c) a rich set of other covariates. Bias was estimated as the difference in causal estimate…

Li, Wei; Konstantopoulos, Spyros – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
Cluster randomized control trials often incorporate a longitudinal component where, for example, students are followed over time and student outcomes are measured repeatedly. Besides examining how intervention effects induce changes in outcomes, researchers are sometimes also interested in exploring whether intervention effects on outcomes are…

Li, Wei; Dong, Nianbo; Maynarad, Rebecca; Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are commonly used to evaluate educational interventions, particularly their effectiveness. Recently there has been greater emphasis on using these trials to explore cost-effectiveness. However, methods for establishing the power of cluster randomized cost-effectiveness trials (CRCETs) are limited. This study…

Winnie Wing-Yee Tse; Hok Chio Lai – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Power analysis and sample size planning are key components in designing cluster randomized trials (CRTs), a common study design to test treatment effect by randomizing clusters or groups of individuals. Sample size determination in two-level CRTs requires knowledge of more than one design parameter, such as the effect size and the…

Schochet, Peter Z. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
This article discusses estimation of average treatment effects for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using grouped administrative data to help improve data access. The focus is on design-based estimators, derived using the building blocks of experiments, that are conducive to grouped data for a wide range of RCT designs, including clustered and…

Peter Schochet – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: When RCTs are not feasible and time series data are available, panel data methods can be used to estimate treatment effects on outcomes, by exploiting variation in policies and conditions over time and across locations. A complication with these methods, however, is that treatment timing often varies across the sample, for example, due…

Kristin Porter; Luke Miratrix; Kristen Hunter – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Researchers are often interested in testing the effectiveness of an intervention on multiple outcomes, for multiple subgroups, at multiple points in time, or across multiple treatment groups. The resulting multiplicity of statistical hypothesis tests can lead to spurious findings of effects. Multiple testing procedures (MTPs)…

Dong, Nianbo; Kelcey, Benjamin; Spybrook, Jessaca – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Researchers are often interested in whether the effects of an intervention differ conditional on individual- or group-moderator variables such as children's characteristics (e.g., gender), teacher's background (e.g., years of teaching), and school's characteristics (e.g., urbanity); that is, the researchers seek to examine for whom and under what…

Thoemmes, Felix; Liao, Wang; Jin, Ze – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
This article describes the analysis of regression-discontinuity designs (RDDs) using the R packages rdd, rdrobust, and rddtools. We discuss similarities and differences between these packages and provide directions on how to use them effectively. We use real data from the Carolina Abecedarian Project to show how an analysis of an RDD can be…

Hedberg, E. C.; Hedges, L. V.; Kuyper, A. M. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
Randomized experiments are generally considered to provide the strongest basis for causal inferences about cause and effect. Consequently randomized field trials have been increasingly used to evaluate the effects of education interventions, products, and services. Populations of interest in education are often hierarchically structured (such as…

Westlund, Erik; Stuart, Elizabeth A. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2017
This article discusses the nonuse, misuse, and proper use of pilot studies in experimental evaluation research. The authors first show that there is little theoretical, practical, or empirical guidance available to researchers who seek to incorporate pilot studies into experimental evaluation research designs. The authors then discuss how pilot…
