The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us

Ecologists love response ratios for meta-analysis❤️ But… they can’t be converted into other effect sizes—making it impossible to have a unified dataset of all published effect sizes in ecology I fix this with a conversion to Hedges’ d to help unify our data! (Link to Ecology Letters paper below):
