Meta-Analysis refers to statistical analyses used to synthesize summary data from a series of studies. This course continues the course of study begun with Meta Analysis 1. Participants will briefly review material covered in Meta Analysis 1, then cover meta-regression, power analysis, interpretation of results in terms of effect-sizes and the relationship with p-values, and considerations in psychometric meta-analysis. They will also study publication bias, vote-counting, and criticisms of meta-analysis.
