 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Medical Research analysis of variance of effect size model Author: Lee Yun-Ming, Yuan Tian-Feng, Chen Changsheng, Wen-Jun Cao, Zhao Dongtao, Pan Feng Li Chen [Abstract] Objective: To investigate the commonly used analysis of variance in medical research the effects of the amount of the standard method of calculating the mean deviation. Methods: The experimental design for different types, given the standard method of calculating the mean deviation. Results: The study of different designs, the the same intervention, the number of the standard deviation are comparable. Conclusion: The effect of the amount of biomedical papers reported that the development trend of the future, researchers should have a correct calculation and interpretation of the standard mean difference, avoid and reduce the effects of the amount of misuse.

In the 20th century, 60 years, bio-statistician (Cohen, 1965; Hays, 1963) stressed the application of effect size that the effect of volume is hypothesis-testing Supplementary [1]. However, the vast majority of researchers in the field of medicine in reporting results, often provides only a P value of hypothesis testing [2-3]. In 1996 the American Psychological Association (APA) of the statistical inference agencies TFSI recommendations reported The results should provide the direction of treatment effect size and its confidence interval [4]. In 1998 Wilkinson and the TFSI recommendations for the main results must be reported effect size, that is, P values reported should also be reported effect size [5]. 2001 the American Psychological Association (APA) research papers published manual states: the results of part of the paper must be reported effect size [6]. So far, 24 kinds of psychology, medical journals require
