Teacher Expectancy Random-Effects Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression using Bayes Modal Estimation to Avoid Boundary Estimates
We provide an example of random-effects meta-analysis and metaregression where the maximum likelihood estimate of the between-study variance is zero and where more reasonable estimates are obtained using Bayes modal estimation. See Chung, Rabe-Hesketh, Dorie, et al. (2013); Chung, Rabe-Hesketh, & Choi (2013) for the theory and further examples. Please also cite the above papers, not the current...
متن کاملPower analysis for random-effects meta-analysis
One of the reasons for the popularity of meta-analysis is the notion that these analyses will possess more power to detect effects than individual studies. This is inevitably the case under a fixed-effect model. However, the inclusion of the between-study variance in the random-effects model, and the need to estimate this parameter, can have unfortunate implications for this power. We develop m...
متن کاملFlexible isoform-level differential expression analysis with Ballgown
We have built a statistical package called Ballgown for estimating differential expression of genes, transcripts, or exons from RNA sequencing experiments. Ballgown is designed to work with the popular Cufflinks transcript assembly software and uses well-motivated statistical methods to provide estimates of changes in expression. It permits statistical analysis at the transcript level for a wid...
متن کاملSequential methods for random-effects meta-analysis
Although meta-analyses are typically viewed as retrospective activities, they are increasingly being applied prospectively to provide up-to-date evidence on specific research questions. When meta-analyses are updated account should be taken of the possibility of false-positive findings due to repeated significance tests. We discuss the use of sequential methods for meta-analyses that incorporat...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of ewe body weight in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep using random regression models
(Co)variance components and genetic parameters for test day ewe body weight of Lori-Bakhtiari sheep were estimated using a random regression model (RRM). The data consisted of 22153 individual body weight records, obtained from 1994 ewes (progeny of 205 sires and 1010 dams) between 371 and 3416 days of age, collected from the flock stud of Lori-Bakhtiari Sheep Breeding Station in Shahrekord, Ir...
