Slot: effect_type

Description: Specifies the statistical metric or method used to compute the numeric value in the companion 'effect size' slot. This disambiguates the effect size value, which is otherwise uninterpretable without knowing the metric (e.g. Cohen's d vs. odds ratio vs. Pearson's r).

Notes: This slot should only be populated when 'effect size' is also populated. Enforced via a class rule on `association`.
