Bayesian Model-Averaged Meta-Analysis in Medicine
医学中的贝叶斯模型平均元分析
We outline a Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis for standardized mean differences in order to quantify evidence for both treatment effectiveness $δ$ and across-study heterogeneity $τ$. We construct four competing models by orthogonally combining two present-absent assumptions, one for the treatment effect and one for across-study heterogeneity. To inform the choice of prior distributions for the model parameters, we used 50% of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews…
