R

Meta-sandwich with extra mustard

In an earlier post about sandwich standard errors for multi-variate meta-analysis, I mentioned that Beth Tipton has recently proposed small-sample corrections for the covariance estimators and t-tests, based on the bias-reduced linearization approach of McCaffrey, Bell, and Botts (2001).

Another meta-sandwich

In a previous post, I provided some code to do robust variance estimation with metafor and sandwich. Here’s another example, replicating some more of the calculations from Tanner-Smith & Tipton (2013).

A meta-sandwich

A common problem arising in many areas of meta-analysis is how to synthesize a set of effect sizes when the set includes multiple effect size estimates from the same study.

Update: parallel R on the TACC

I have learned from Mr. Yaakoub El Khamra that he and the good folks at TACC have made some modifications to TACC’s custom MPI implementation and R build in order to correct bugs in Rmpi and snow that were causing crashes.
