Power 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 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 کاملRandom effects meta‐analysis: Coverage performance of 95% confidence and prediction intervals following REML estimation
A random effects meta-analysis combines the results of several independent studies to summarise the evidence about a particular measure of interest, such as a treatment effect. The approach allows for unexplained between-study heterogeneity in the true treatment effect by incorporating random study effects about the overall mean. The variance of the mean effect estimate is conventionally calcul...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian inference for random effects meta-analysis.
Whilst meta-analysis is becoming a more commonplace statistical technique, Bayesian inference in meta-analysis requires complex computational techniques to be routinely applied. We consider simple approximations for the first and second moments of the parameters of a Bayesian random effects model for meta-analysis. These computationally inexpensive methods are based on simple analytical formula...
متن کاملA random effects meta-analysis model with Box-Cox transformation
BACKGROUND In a random effects meta-analysis model, true treatment effects for each study are routinely assumed to follow a normal distribution. However, normality is a restrictive assumption and the misspecification of the random effects distribution may result in a misleading estimate of overall mean for the treatment effect, an inappropriate quantification of heterogeneity across studies and...
