Stanley, T. D.; Doucouliagos, Hristos – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Partial correlation coefficients are often used as effect sizes in the meta-analysis and systematic review of multiple regression analysis research results. There are two well-known formulas for the variance and thereby for the standard error (SE) of partial correlation coefficients (PCC). One is considered the "correct" variance in the…

Kulinskaya, Elena; Hoaglin, David C.; Bakbergenuly, Ilyas; Newman, Joseph – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
The conventional Q statistic, using estimated inverse-variance (IV) weights, underlies a variety of problems in random-effects meta-analysis. In previous work on standardized mean difference and log-odds-ratio, we found superior performance with an estimator of the overall effect whose weights use only group-level sample sizes. The Q statistic…

Oort, Frans J.; Jak, Suzanne – Research Synthesis Methods, 2016
Meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) involves fitting models to a common population correlation matrix that is estimated on the basis of correlation coefficients that are reported by a number of independent studies. MASEM typically consist of two stages. The method that has been found to perform best in terms of statistical…

Schild, Anne H. E.; Voracek, Martin – Research Synthesis Methods, 2015
Research has shown that forest plots are a gold standard in the visualization of meta-analytic results. However, research on the general interpretation of forest plots and the role of researchers' meta-analysis experience and field of study is still unavailable. Additionally, the traditional display of effect sizes, confidence intervals, and…
