3. Submit Homework #4 on Blackboard by Sunday, April 27

In this session we will focus on how to evaluate the BIP. How do we know if our behavioral interventions are effective? We will explore visual analysis: level; trend; variability; immediacy of effect; and consistency of data in similar phases. We will also look at how we can determine effect size. Specifically, we will go over how to compute a PND (Percent of Non-overlapping Data) score by analyzing non-overlapping data across baseline and intervention phases. We will also go over how to compute an alternative PEM (Percent Exceeding Median) score by analyzing the number of intervention data points that exceed the baseline median line.
