Title: Using Robust Variance Estimation to Combine Multiple Regression Estimates with Meta- Analysis

Implementing informative priors for heterogeneity in meta‐analysis using meta‐regression and pseudo data

Many meta-analyses combine results from only a small number of studies, a situation in which the between-study variance is imprecisely estimated when standard methods are applied. Bayesian meta-analysis allows incorporation of external evidence on heterogeneity, providing the potential for more robust inference on the effect size of interest. We present a method for performing Bayesian meta-ana...

robumeta: An R-package for robust variance estimation in meta-analysis

Meta-regression models are commonly used to synthesize and compare effect sizes. Unfortunately, traditional meta-regression methods are ill-equipped to handle the complex and often unknown correlations among non-independent effect sizes. Robust variance estimation (RVE) is a recently proposed meta-analytic method for dealing with dependent effect sizes. The robumeta package provides functions f...

for tests of moderators and model fit in robust variance estimation in meta - regression

Title Page Title: Small-sample adjustments for tests of moderators and model fit in robust variance estimation in meta-regression Abstract Body Background / Context: Randomized experiments are commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions. The main focus in randomized experiments is often on the average treatment effect across all participants in the study, yet when t...

Estimation of Variance Components for Body Weight of Moghani Sheep Using B-Spline Random Regression Models

The aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of Moghani sheep, using random regression models based on B-Splines functions. The data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 Moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from Jafar-Abad Animal Research and Breeding Institute, Ardabil province,...
