Effect size

In statistics, effect size is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables. In scientific experiments, it is often useful to know not only whether an experiment has a statistically significant effect, but also the size of any observed effects.

Effect size is measured with either eta squared (R2) or omega squared (W2).

*Note: "Effect size means how big is your difference
               (between groups)." - Statmaster C
                  
**Note: "The effect size value represents the percentage of variance 
                accounted for in our groups...meaning between group
                  variance." - Statmaster C

***Note: Effect size is related to power.
