  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. 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.

  4. Impact evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_evaluation

    Impact evaluation designs are identified by the type of methods used to generate the counterfactual and can be broadly classified into three categories – experimental, quasi-experimental and non-experimental designs – that vary in feasibility, cost, involvement during design or after implementation phase of the intervention, and degree of ...

  5. 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.

  6. Quasi-empirical method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-empirical_method

    Quasi-empirical methods are scientific methods used to gain knowledge in situations where empirical evidence cannot be gathered through experimentation, or experience cannot falsify the ideas involved. Quasi-empirical methods aim to be as closely analogous to empirical methods as possible. [1]

  7. 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.

  8. Confounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding

    An operational confounding can occur in both experimental and non-experimental research designs. This type of confounding occurs when a measure designed to assess a particular construct inadvertently measures something else as well. [20] A procedural confounding can occur in a laboratory experiment or a quasi-experiment. This type of confound ...

  9. Ecological validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_validity

    Ecological validity, the ability to generalize study findings to the real world, is a subcategory of external validity. [6] Another example highlighting the differences between these terms is from an experiment that studied pointing [7] —a trait originally attributed uniquely to humans—in captive chimpanzees. This study certainly had ...
