Generalized integration model for improved statistical inference by leveraging external summary data
利用外部汇总数据改善统计推断的广义整合模型
Summary Meta-analysis has become a powerful tool for improving inference by gathering evidence from multiple sources. It pools summary-level data from different studies to improve estimation efficiency with the assumption that all participating studies are analysed under the same statistical model. It is challenging to integrate external summary data calculated from different models with a newly conducted internal study in which individual-level data are collected. We…
