A Bayesian Semiparametric Model for Random-Effects Meta-Analysis
随机效应元分析的贝叶斯半参数模型
In meta-analysis, there is an increasing trend to explicitly acknowledge the presence of study variability through random-effects models. That is, one assumes that for each study there is a study-specific effect and one is observing an estimate of this latent variable. In a random-effects model, one assumes that these study-specific effects come from some distribution, and one can estimate the parameters of this distribution, as well as the study-specific effects themselves.…
