  2. Quasi-experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-experiment

    A quasi-experiment is an empirical interventional study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on target population without random assignment.Quasi-experimental research shares similarities with the traditional experimental design or randomized controlled trial, but it specifically lacks the element of random assignment to treatment or control.

  3. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    In some cases, independent variables cannot be manipulated, for example when testing the difference between two groups who have a different disease, or testing the difference between genders (obviously variables that would be hard or unethical to assign participants to). In these cases, a quasi-experimental design may be used.

  4. Experimental data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_data

    Experimental data in science and engineering is data produced by a measurement, test method, experimental design or quasi-experimental design. In clinical research any data produced are the result of a clinical trial. Experimental data may be qualitative or quantitative, each being appropriate for different investigations.

  5. Quasi-empirical method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-empirical_method

    Quasi-empirical methods aim to be as closely analogous to empirical methods as possible. [1] Empirical research relies on, and its empirical methods involve experimentation and disclosure of apparatus for reproducibility, by which scientific findings are validated by other scientists.

  6. Regression discontinuity design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_discontinuity...

    In statistics, econometrics, political science, epidemiology, and related disciplines, a regression discontinuity design (RDD) is a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design that aims to determine the causal effects of interventions by assigning a cutoff or threshold above or below which an intervention is assigned.

  7. Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment

    Much research in several science disciplines, including economics, human geography, archaeology, sociology, cultural anthropology, geology, paleontology, ecology, meteorology, and astronomy, relies on quasi-experiments. For example, in astronomy it is clearly impossible, when testing the hypothesis "Stars are collapsed clouds of hydrogen", to ...

  8. Glossary of experimental design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_experimental...

    Blocking: A schedule for conducting treatment combinations in an experimental study such that any effects on the experimental results due to a known change in raw materials, operators, machines, etc., become concentrated in the levels of the blocking variable. Note: the reason for blocking is to isolate a systematic effect and prevent it from ...

  9. Multiple baseline design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_Baseline_Design

    Ex post facto recruitment methods are not considered true experiments, due to the limits of experimental control or randomized control that the experimenter has over the trait. This is because a control group may necessarily be selected from a discrete separate population. This research design is thus considered a quasi-experimental design.
