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...
