  • How many tiers do we need? Type I errors and power in multiple baseline designs 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Turgeon, Stéphanie (Springer, 2020-07-29)
    Design quality guidelines typically recommend that multiple baseline designs include at least three demonstrations of effects. Despite its widespread adoption, this recommendation does not appear grounded in empirical evidence. The main purpose of ...

  • Machine learning to analyze single-case data : a proof of concept 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Giannakakos, Antonia R.; Destras, Océane (Springer, 2020)
    Visual analysis is the most commonly used method for interpreting data from singlecase designs, but levels of interrater agreement remain a concern. Although structured aids to visual analysis such as the dual-criteria (DC) method may increase ...

  • Some characteristics and arguments in favor of a science of machine behavior analysis 

    Lanovaz, Marc (Springer, 2022-03-31)
    Researchers and practitioners recognize four domains of behavior analysis: radical behaviorism, the experimental analysis of behavior, applied behavior analysis, and the practice of behavior analysis. Given the omnipresence of technology in every sphere ...

  • Tutorial : applying machine learning in behavioral research 

    Turgeon, Stéphanie; Lanovaz, Marc (Springer, 2020-11-10)
    Machine-learning algorithms hold promise for revolutionizing how educators and clinicians make decisions. However, researchers in behavior analysis have been slow to adopt this methodology to further develop their understanding of human behavior and ...

  • Using single-case designs in practical settings: Is replication always necessary? 

    Is within-subject replication always necessary?
    Lanovaz, Marc; Turgeon, Stéphanie; Cardinal, Patrick; Wheatley, Tara L. (Springer, 2018-05-17)
    Behavior analysts have widely adopted and embraced within-subject replication through the use of reversal and multielement designs. However, the withdrawal of treatment, which is central to these designs, may not be desirable, feasible, or even ethical ...
