Mechanisms¶
- Standardized Mean Difference Table
- Its central limitation is that the SMD is a first-moment statistic — it compares means (or proportions) and is blind to differences in variance, shape, or interaction between covariates.
This sourceShows that standardized differences compare means or prevalences, while variance, higher moments, interactions, and distributional shape require separate diagnostics.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
