Effective Intervention for Behavior With a Daily Behavior Report Card: A Meta-Analysis (2010, methodology): “The present meta-analysis seeks to address these issues by analyzing only SCR studies that attempt experimental control of the outcome and by using a distribution-free ordinal level ES, improvement rate difference (IRD; Parker et al., 2009).”

A Systematic Review and Evaluation Based on Single-Case Research (2015, background): “Similarly, the 95% confidence interval for the IRD metric ranged from approximately 13% to 29%, which corresponds to a small to questionable effect (Parker et al., 2009).”
