Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust (2016)
Journal Article
Derrick, B., Toher, D., & White, P. (2016). Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust. Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 12(1), 30-38

The comparison of two means is one of the most commonly applied statistical procedures in psychology. The independent samples t-test corrected for unequal variances is commonly known as Welch’s test, and is widely considered to be a robust alternativ...

Test statistics for comparing two proportions with partially overlapping samples (2015)
Journal Article
Derrick, B., Dobson-Mckittrick, A., Toher, D., & White, P. (2015). Test statistics for comparing two proportions with partially overlapping samples. Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, 10(3),

Standard tests for comparing two sample proportions of a dichotomous dependent variable where there is a combination of paired and unpaired samples are considered. Four new tests are introduced and compared against standard tests and an alternative p... Read More about Test statistics for comparing two proportions with partially overlapping samples.

An inverse normal transformation solution for the comparison of two samples that contain both paired observations and independent observations
Journal Article
Derrick, B., White, P., & Toher, D. An inverse normal transformation solution for the comparison of two samples that contain both paired observations and independent observations

Inverse normal transformations applied to the partially overlapping samples t-tests by Derrick et.al. (2017) are considered for their Type I error robustness and power. The inverse normal transformation solutions proposed in this paper are shown to m...
