Comparison of standardized effect size estimators and probability-of-superiority equivalents across standard magnitude thresholds.
| Effect Size Metric / Tier | Formula / Threshold | Cohen's U3 (% Above Control Mean) | CLES (Probability of Superiority) | When to Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Effect (`|d| = 0.20`) | `(M1 − M2) / s_pooled = 0.20` | `57.9%` | `55.6%` | Subtle behavioral or large-scale epidemiological shifts |
| Medium Effect (`|d| = 0.50`) | `(M1 − M2) / s_pooled = 0.50` | `69.1%` | `63.8%` | Visible educational, clinical, or UX improvement |
| Default Sample (`|d| = 0.608`) | `M1=82.4, M2=75.8, s_p=10.86` | **`72.8%`** | **`66.6%`** | Default worked example (`Hedges' g = 0.603`, `95% CI [0.18, 1.03]`) |
| Large Effect (`|d| = 0.80`) | `(M1 − M2) / s_pooled = 0.80` | `78.8%` | `71.4%` | Strong experimental manipulation or high-impact intervention |

All three measure the standardized mean difference (M1 − M2) in standard deviation units, but they use different denominators or bias corrections: Cohen's d divides by the pooled standard deviation (s_pooled); Hedges' g multiplies Cohen's d by the exact degrees-of-freedom correction factor J = 1 − 3/(4×df − 1) to remove upward small-sample bias (especially important when n1 + n2 < 50); and Glass's Δ divides strictly by the control group's standard deviation (SD2) when the treatment alters group variance.
Jacob Cohen's classic rule-of-thumb benchmarks classify |d| ≈ 0.20 as a Small effect, |d| ≈ 0.50 as a Medium effect, and |d| ≈ 0.80 (or above) as a Large effect. Always interpret these thresholds alongside domain norms and the 95% confidence interval.
Cohen's U3 = Φ(d) reports the percentage of Group 1 that exceeds the mean (50th percentile) of Group 2. Common Language Effect Size (CLES = Φ(|d| / √2)) gives the probability that a randomly selected score from the higher-mean group exceeds a randomly selected score from the lower-mean group.
The standard error of Cohen's d is SE_d = sqrt( (n1 + n2)/(n1 × n2) + d² / (2 × (n1 + n2)) ), and the 95% confidence interval is d ± 1.95996 × SE_d. If the 95% CI does not cross 0, the standardized difference is statistically significant at two-sided α = 0.05.
