Large-Group Fantasies versus Single-Subject Science.

Da Prato, Robert A.

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v12 n1 p54-65 Spr 1992

This paper argues that judgment-based assessment of data from multiply replicated single-subject or small-N studies should replace normative-based (p=less than 0.05) assessment of large-N research in the clinical sciences, and asserts that inferential statistics should be abandoned as a method of evaluating clinical research data.
