Erratum to: Standardizing effect size from linear regression models with log-transformed variables for meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Meta-analysis is very useful to summarize the effect of a treatment or a risk factor for a given disease. Often studies report results based on log-transformed variables in order to achieve the principal assumptions of a linear regression model. If this is the case for some, but not all studies, the effects need to be homogenized. METHODS We derived a set of formulae to transform a...

متن کاملErratum: Robust variance estimation in meta-regression with dependent effect size estimates.
Conventional meta-analytic techniques rely on the assumption that effect size estimates from different studies are independent and have sampling distributions with known conditional variances. The independence assumption is violated when studies produce several estimates based on the same individuals or there are clusters of studies that are not independent (such as those carried out by the sam...
متن کاملThe Allometry of Coarse Root Biomass: Log-Transformed Linear Regression or Nonlinear Regression?
Precise estimation of root biomass is important for understanding carbon stocks and dynamics in forests. Traditionally, biomass estimates are based on allometric scaling relationships between stem diameter and coarse root biomass calculated using linear regression (LR) on log-transformed data. Recently, it has been suggested that nonlinear regression (NLR) is a preferable fitting method for sca...
متن کاملDiscriminative Log-Linear Grammars with Latent Variables
. Grammars with Latent Variables Given a treebank over a set of categories learn an optimally refined grammar for parsing. The parameters can be learned with an Expectation Maximization algorithm. The E-Step involves computing expectations over derivations corresponding to the observed trees. These expectations are normalized in the M-Step to update the rewrite probabilities: Grammar Learning T...
