Statistical Methods for Meta-Analysis PDF
by Larry V. Hedges, Ingram Olkin
- Information
Description
The main purpose of this book is to address the statistical issues for integrating independent studies.
There exist a number of papers and books that discuss the mechanics of collecting, coding, and preparing data for a meta-analysis , and we do not deal with these. Because this book concerns methodology, the content necessarily is statistical, and at times mathematical.
In order to make the material accessible to a wider audience, we have not provided proofs in the text.
Where proofs are given, they are placed as commentary at the end of a chapter.
These can be omitted at the discretion of the reader.Throughout the book we describe computational procedures whenever required.
Many computations can be completed on a hand calculator, whereas some require the use of a standard statistical package such as SAS, SPSS, or BMD.
Readers with experience using a statistical package or who conduct analyses such as multiple regression or analysis of variance should be able to carry out the analyses described with the aid of a statistical package.
