How to Evaluate Single-Case Baseline Variability Around a Trend
Assess scatter around a baseline level or trend, identify context and measurement causes, and decide whether the series supports useful prediction.
Clinical guides, tools, and evidence-informed resources for thoughtful, high-quality ABA care.

Clinician guide
Assess scatter around a baseline level or trend, identify context and measurement causes, and decide whether the series supports useful prediction.

Clinician guide
Define the desired direction, inspect baseline trend toward that outcome, preserve uncertainty, and explain how improvement before treatment affects inference.

Clinician guide
Review baseline level, trend, variability, coverage, measurement quality, and clinical gates without relying on a universal stability cutoff.

Clinician guide
Handle missing single-case randomization outcomes by preserving positions and reasons, applying one rule across assignments, and reporting sensitivity and limits.

Clinician guide
Handle a single-case randomization deviation by protecting welfare, preserving assigned and delivered schedules, classifying the event, and reviewing analyses.

Clinician guide
Handle unequal single-case assignment probabilities by preserving the weighted draw, summing probability mass for the tail, and avoiding unweighted schedule counts.

Clinician guide
Randomly assign enrolled cases to fixed multiple-baseline start positions, preserving the permutation set, probabilities, draw, contextual limits, and analysis.

Clinician guide
Randomize a changing-criterion schedule with design-specific step values, timing, permissible sequences, the prospective draw, safety limits, and review.

Clinician guide
Randomize reversal-design phase changes with permissible windows, minimum phases, withdrawal and safety gates, a prospective draw, and delivered-schedule evidence.

Clinician guide
Build a restricted alternating-treatment randomization set with balance, run-length, block, transition, and washout rules fixed before the sequence draw.

Clinician guide
Randomize alternating-treatment order with a prospective sequence set, balance and carryover rules, the actual draw, delivered order, and matching inference.

Clinician guide
Randomize multiple-baseline starts with tier windows, valid stagger combinations, probabilities, the prospective draw, delivered starts, and power limits.
