Estimating Mean and Standard Deviation from the Sample Size, Three Quartiles, Minimum, and Maximum
Background: We sometimes want to include in a meta-analysis data from studies where results are presented as medians and ranges or interquartile ranges rather than as means and ...
Goodness-of-Fit Testing for Latent Class Models
Latent class models with sparse contingency tables can present problems for model comparison and selection, because under these conditions the distributions of goodness-of-fit i...
How Much Should We Trust Differences-In-Differences Estimates?
Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors...
Treatment-effect estimates adjusted for small-study effects via a limit meta-analysis
Statistical heterogeneity and small-study effects are 2 major issues affecting the validity of meta-analysis. In this article, we introduce the concept of a limit meta-analysis,...
