According to:
http://www.qualitymetric.com/sf36/qolr_art2.pdf
The SRM was calculated by dividing the observed
change score of each MSQ scale by the standard
deviation of the change score [36]. The SRM
provides a more effective summary of the signal to
noise ratio than SES because it avoids the standard
error of the mean in the denominator and is
therefore less influenced by sample size
But I'm not still very sure of what that means.
