Abstract in brief

  • This guide explains how to calculate Cohen's f², a standardized measure of effect size, specifically for mixed-effects regression models, which are often used in hierarchical or repeated-measures data.
  • It provides step-by-step instructions and examples using SAS's PROC MIXED to help researchers interpret the local effect of individual variables within complex models.
  • The tutorial is useful for researchers in psychology, clinical, and observational studies who need to quantify the importance of specific variables in their multivariate analyses.]

@wviechtb @giladfeldman I have R2 values from linear regression models, and now I want to convert/calculate f^2=r^2/(1-r^2), and use f^2 values as an effect size. Something similar to https://t.co/diabktkcQC
