Better Outcomes Demand Better Graphing
Richard M. Kubina Jr.
Applied and basic researchers in behavior analysis rely on visual analysis of graphic data, a practice rooted in the field's inception, yet concerns about its reliability have arisen, particularly in… Show more (+) Applied and basic researchers in behavior analysis rely on visual analysis of graphic data, a practice rooted in the field's inception, yet concerns about its reliability have arisen, particularly in single-case designs. Critics argue for supplementing visual analysis with statistical methods to enhance objectivity and confidence in results, aiming to strengthen analytical and decision-making capabilities in the field. This presentation from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference showcases studies highlighting weaknesses in graphing and strategies to bolster analytical rigor. Show less (-)

Matter of Great Consequence: The Standard Celeration Chart
Richard M. Kubina Jr.
Recent investigations reveal a high error rate in the construction of linear graphs within fields like behavior analysis and special education, impacting critical aspects such as analysis and decision-making. The… Show more (+) Recent investigations reveal a high error rate in the construction of linear graphs within fields like behavior analysis and special education, impacting critical aspects such as analysis and decision-making. The Standard Celeration Chart is presented as a significantly more effective alternative, promising to enhance the quality of data visualization, precision in metrics, and analytics for treatments, especially for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). From the 2017 Michigan Autism Conference. Show less (-)

An Examination of Linear and Ratio Graphs
Richard M. Kubina Jr.
Line graphs have long been crucial in applied behavior analysis for visually representing treatment data and summarizing behavioral performance over time. However, issues such as low interrater reliability and the… Show more (+) Line graphs have long been crucial in applied behavior analysis for visually representing treatment data and summarizing behavioral performance over time. However, issues such as low interrater reliability and the absence of consistent decision-making criteria have been noted. An alternative, the standard ratio graph, is explored in this presentation from the 2021 Michigan Autism Conference for its potential to address these criticisms by comparing its effectiveness against traditional linear graphs in an experiment.
