Caspar J. Van Lissa; Eli-Boaz Clapper; Rebecca Kuiper – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
The product Bayes factor (PBF) synthesizes evidence for an informative hypothesis across heterogeneous replication studies. It can be used when fixed- or random effects meta-analysis fall short. For example, when effect sizes are incomparable and cannot be pooled, or when studies diverge significantly in the populations, study designs, and…

Mikkel Helding Vembye; James Eric Pustejovsky; Therese Deocampo Pigott – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Sample size and statistical power are important factors to consider when planning a research synthesis. Power analysis methods have been developed for fixed effect or random effects models, but until recently these methods were limited to simple data structures with a single, independent effect per study. Recent work has provided power…

Anne Wicks; Robin Berkley – George W. Bush Institute, 2025
Assessments are one of the most important--and often misunderstood--elements of education. In most cases, tests are administered by the state as well as by districts and schools. Assessments at each of these levels have distinct purposes, yield different information, and are part of a powerful, coordinated approach to improving student outcomes.…
