Adjusting for Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis
We review and evaluate selection methods, a prominent class of techniques first proposed by Hedges (1984) that assess and adjust for publication bias in meta-analysis, via an extensive simulation study. Our simulation covers both restrictive settings as well as more realistic settings and proceeds across multiple metrics that assess different aspects of model performance. This evaluation is tim...
متن کاملPublication Bias in Meta-Analysis
Publication bias is the term for what occurs whenever the research that appears in the published literature is systematically unrepresentative of the population of completed studies. Simply put, when the research that is readily available differs in its results from the results of all the research that has been done in an area, readers and reviewers of that research are in danger of drawing the...
متن کاملEstimating and Adjusting for Publication Bias Using Data Augmentation in Bayesian Meta-Analysis
We introduce a Bayesian approach which estimates and adjusts for selection bias in a set of studies used in a meta-analysis. We use a hierarchical model for study outcome, and propose an additional model component to account for publication bias, which is the possibility that studies of interest are not equally likely to be published and hence observed studies are not a random sample. Estimatio...
متن کاملExercise as a treatment for depression: A meta-analysis adjusting for publication bias.
The effects of exercise on depression have been a source of contentious debate. Meta-analyses have demonstrated a range of effect sizes. Both inclusion criteria and heterogeneity may influence the effect sizes reported. The extent and influence of publication bias is also unknown. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from a recent Cochrane review and searches of major electronic ...
متن کاملQuantifying and Adjusting the Effects of Publication Bias in Continuous Meta-Analysis
This study uses simulated meta-analysis to assess the effects of publication bias on meta-analysis estimates and to evaluate the efficacy of the trim and fill method in adjusting for these biases. The estimated effect sizes and the standard error were evaluated in terms of the statistical bias and the coverage probability. The results demonstrate that if publication bias is not adjusted it coul...
