Abstract

Effect size is a statistical index that measures the magnitude of the effect generated by the variable of interest in a study, in a sense, reflecting the practical or clinical value of the study in addition to the statistical results. In recent years, it has become preferable to report the effect size expressing practical significance in addition to the statistical significance expressed by the p-value in hypothesis tests in scientific research, and even it has been required by some scientific journals. By reporting the effect size, it is possible to use it in statistical power analysis, to compare the results of the studies, and to determine the amount of the effect in the study. In this study, by mentioning the concept of effect size, some effect size indices calculated according to research designs are introduced with examples of the field of veterinary medicine.
