## How to use
1) Copy this file once to `papers/<paper_key>/analysis/effect_sizes.qmd`.
2) For each computed effect, fill an **Inputs** block (duplicate the section and change `study_id`/`effect_id` as needed).
3) Render with Quarto (or run the R chunks in your IDE) and copy the resulting `d` and `v` into the paper YAML.
4) Keep the rendered HTML as a human-auditable record: it reports the method used + key inputs.
## Inputs
```{r}
# Identify the record you are computing.
paper_key <- "pinillos2024bankcasesstakes"
study_id <- 1
effect_id <- "s1_e1"
# Choose one method (make it explicit; this will be printed in the audit output).
#
# Between-subjects (high vs low are different participants):
# - "between_groups": means + SDs + n_high/n_low
# - "between_t": t + n_high/n_low (sign from means or sign_d)
# - "between_f": F + n_high/n_low (sign from means or sign_d)
# - "between_chi2": chi2 + n_high/n_low (sign from means or sign_d)
# - "between_2x2_or": 2x2 counts (yes/no by low/high) via esc::esc_2x2 (OR -> d)
# - "between_reported_d_t_df": reported d + t(df) (computes v without split Ns)
#
# Within-subjects (same participants rate both cases):
# - "within_smcrp_r": means + SDs + n_total + within-person r
# - "within_smcrp_t": means + SDs + paired t(df) to recover r
