Foundations of Meta-analysis

Catalog description

Foundations of Meta-analysis covers the application of concepts and principles of meta-analysis to the systematic review of the literature on a topic. It covers how to model effect sizes (e.g., Hedge's g, odds ratio, Fisher's z) in between-subjects, within subjects, meta-regression, and correlation-based meta-analyses. Topics include the design, statistical modeling and analysis, and reporting of meta-analytic studies. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to design and conduct meta-analyses, as well as be informed consumers of meta-analytic reports.
