SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training & Consulting Workshop: Meta-Analysis
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop, presented by Dr. Spyros Konstantopoulos, 
 will provide an overview of meta-analysis, 
 a statistical method for combining empirical 
 evidence across studies that examine 
 a certain topic and test comparable hypotheses. 
 First, we will discuss the early stages of 
 synthesizing research across a sample of studies 
 such as data collection, coding, and data 
 evaluation. Second, we will present the most 
 commonly used indexes of effect sizes. Then, 
 we will focus on the statistical methods involved 
 when integrating research evidence. We 
 will cover both fixed and mixed effects models 
 and discuss their usefulness. Finally, multiple 
 examples will be provided and SAS will 
 be used to demonstrate the usefulness of the 
 methods using real data. Registration begins 
 February 1, 2010. Please visit www.cstat.msu.edu
