A Generalized Formula for Converting Chi-Square Tests to Effect Sizes for Meta-Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The common formula used for converting a chi-square test into a correlation coefficient for use as an effect size in meta-analysis has a hidden assumption which may be violated in specific instances, leading to an overestimation of the effect size. A corrected formula is provided.

متن کاملConverting Observed Likelihood Functions to Tail Probabilities
The chi-square approximation for likelihood drop is widely used but may be inaccurate for small or medium sized samples; mean and variance corrections may help. The Lugannani and Rice tail probability formula provides high accuracy based on a cumulant generating function, which is readily available for exponential family models. This paper surveys extensions of this formula to more general cont...
متن کاملTesting for homogeneity in meta-analysis I. The one-parameter case: standardized mean difference.
Meta-analysis seeks to combine the results of several experiments in order to improve the accuracy of decisions. It is common to use a test for homogeneity to determine if the results of the several experiments are sufficiently similar to warrant their combination into an overall result. Cochran's Q statistic is frequently used for this homogeneity test. It is often assumed that Q follows a chi...
