Clinicians and therapists often use their judgment to decide whether some treatment has been effective. Typically, base rate measurements are taken before the intervention. The task is to determine whether measurements taken after the intervention are different from these. We are interested in the features that the time series must contain before people will say that there is evidence that the intervention has been effective. We are considering the features of this situation that would be most theoretically interesting to vary (e.g., interval between intervention and any effect, whether the effect is sudden or gradual, trends and sequential dependencies in the series, mode of presentation, etc). NB. Some advance reading is available by mail on request to David Lagnado.
