Glass's δ

Glass's δ is an estimator of the population effect size that uses only the standard deviation of the second group. An effect size is a quantitative measure of the strength of a phenomenon. A population effect size based on means considers the standardized mean difference between two populations.

Glass's \[Delta] equals the differences between the first and second sample means divided by the second sample standard deviation.

Formula

QuantityVariable["δ", "Unitless"] == (QuantityVariable[Subscript[OverBar["x"], "1"], "Unitless"] - QuantityVariable[Subscript[OverBar["x"], "2"], "Unitless"])/QuantityVariable[Subscript["s", "2"], "Unitless"]
