<strong>Abbreviated</strong> <strong>Interrupted</strong> <strong>Time</strong> <strong>Series</strong><br />

• We use abbreviated ITS loosely<br />

– series with only 6 to 50 time points<br />

• Pretest time points are important<br />

– valuable <strong>for</strong> estimating pre‐intervention growth<br />

(maturation)<br />

– control <strong>for</strong> selection differences if there is a<br />

comparison time series<br />

• Posttest <strong>for</strong> identifying nature of the<br />

response, especially its temporal persistence
