Definition

  • Single-case experimental design (also known as time-series design) is a research methodology characterized by repeated assessment of a particular phenomenon (often a behavior) over time, and generally is used to evaluate interventions. There are three general types of single-case experimental designs, which differ according to their structure and purpose: within-series, between-series, and combined-series.
