Meta-Analysis – Synthesizing Evidence from Multiple Studies
Most biostatistical analyses are conducted in different studies and focus on a specific sample drawn from a population. The larger the sample, the greater the credibility and statistical power of the studies. This is the basic principle of biostatistics.
There is another way to improve the credibility of evidence and statistical power. x is a statistical technique used in biostatistics to combine the results of multiple independent studies on a specific topic to derive a better more credible and trustworthy result. Further meta-analyses are components of systematic literature reviews that summarize results and assess the quality of studies on specific biological or biomedical topics.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding meta-analysis and synthesizing evidence from multiple studies
- Understanding random effects meta-analysis and fixed effects meta-analysis...
