Metandi: Meta-analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy Using Hierarchical Logistic Regression

Landslide susceptibility mapping using logistic regression analysis in Latyan catchment

    Every year, hundreds of people all over the world lose their lives due to landslides. Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. I...

Prediction of unwanted pregnancies using logistic regression, probit regression and discriminant analysis

  Background: Unwanted pregnancy not intended by at least one of the parents has undesirable consequences for the family and the society. In the present study, three classification models were used and compared to predict unwanted pregnancies in an urban population.   Methods : In this cross-sectional study, 887 pregnant mothers referring to health centers in Khorramabad, Iran, in 2012 were ...

A meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy 1 Running head: A META-ANALYSIS OF DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY Bilingual Language Assessment: A Meta-analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy

Purpose: To describe quality indicators for appraising studies of diagnostic accuracy and to report a meta-analysis of measures for diagnosing language impairment (LI) in bilingual Spanish-English US children. Method: We searched electronically and by hand to locate peer-reviewed Englishlanguage publications meeting inclusion criteria; we rated quality features, calculated accuracy metrics and ...

Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy with mada

The R-package mada is a tool for the meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy. In contrast to univariate meta-analysis, diagnostic meta-analysis requires bivariate models. An additional challenge is to provide a summary receiver operating characteristic curves that seek to integrate receiver operator characteristic curves of primary studies. The package implements the approach of Reitsma, Glas, Rut...
