The MultiSCED web application has been developed to assist applied researchers in behavioral sciences to apply multilevel modeling to quantitatively summarize single-case experimental design (SCED) studies through a user-friendly point-and-click interface embedded within R. In this paper, we offer a brief introduction to the application, explaining how to define and estimate the relevant multilevel models and how to interpret the results numerically and graphically. The use of the application is illustrated through a re-analysis of an existing meta-analytic dataset. By guiding applied researchers through MultiSCED, we aim to make use of the multilevel modeling technique for combining SCED data across cases and across studies more comprehensible and accessible.
MultiSCED 网页应用程序是为了帮助行为科学的应用研究人员而开发的,它通过 R 中嵌入的用户友好的点击式界面,帮助研究者将多层次模型应用于定量总结单案例实验设计(SCED)研究。在本文中,我们将简要介绍这个应用程序,解释如何定义和估计相关的多层次模型,以及如何通过数值和图形方式解释结果。我们将通过重新分析现有的元分析数据集来说明该应用程序的使用。通过指导应用研究人员使用 MultiSCED,我们旨在使多层次模型技术在跨案例和跨研究的 SCED 数据综合方面更易于理解和使用。
