What are the advantages of the interrupted time-series design and the replicated time-series design over other quasi-experimental designs?

What will be an ideal response?


The time-series designs allow you to establish a baseline that the other designs do not. This allows confidence that the treatment is making the change in behavior, not because of the threats of history, maturation, statistical regression (regression to the mean) or testing. The other designs involve fewer observation periods, so changes in behaviors due to pre-existing trends may look like changes resulting from application of the treatment.

Archie Sparrow, a cowboy experienced in training horses, met a rancher and fellow rodeo rider, Chip Morris, at a rodeo in Florida. After comparing notes on various rodeos, Morris offered Sparrow a job for 16 weeks working on Morris's ranch in Arkansas. Sparrow accepted, and as compensation, Morris agreed to give Sparrow $400 and a brown horse named Kerro. When Sparrow first came to Morris's

ranch, Kerro was practically unbroken. However, Sparrow worked with the horse during his spare time, and by the time the 16 weeks were up, Kerro was well on his way to becoming a first-class riding horse. Morris returned at the end of the 16 weeks and gave Sparrow a check for $400, but refused to deliver the horse. Sparrow wants the horse. What remedy will he be seeking in court? a.
