    Thank you! You're the first person who can explain what the Cohen's d means in normal human language!

    ! Every aspect of your work, from technology side of it, to statistics, practical examples, timing, clarity of instructions and calculations, was excellent.

    You have *no idea* how amazingly useful this is. Thank you muchly. The use of the arrows and moving the figures like you do, helps this visual learner understand where the numbers come from.

I have looked at literary 100's of website and loads of RUclips stuff plus reading my study books for DAYS until I finally came across your posting. Thats just the kind of example I wanted. No blah blah or complicated scribblings, just plain and simple 'this is how you do it'. Thank you

    @Norfeldt I use a variety of different programs to create my videos -- not just one product.
    The idea behind MyBookSucks and the tagline "party more study less" is to attract those students who struggle and eventually learn to hate math subjects (stats, econ, , maths). Most students just want to pass these subjects and move on.

    The Cohen d or effect size compliments student T test and p values. The cohen d tries to measure the strength of a treatment or technique.

    @statisticsfun It's funny because I never saw statistics as boring but only the way it was taught as boring. Your lectures on the other hand is much more interesting than my books - which is why your site MyBookSucks make sense. I'm looking very much forward to your future videos.
    Sometimes things are boring if you don't know the use of it. How about applied statistics - how to design experiments?

I think for different group sizes std should be calculated with weights? If so, can you shortly tell how? Otherwise, it was a very clear explanation, and thank you a lof for this video. Always when I watch your videos they are so helpful, and I feel I really learn here! :) Thank you!
