ITEC is proud to announce the approval of a new FWO project:

‘Meta-analysis of dependent effect sizes: A multilevel approach’

Abstract:

Studies in behavioral sciences are often underpowered, because population effects and sample sizes are rarely impressive. Meta-analyses of multiple studies are therefore often highly valuable. A challenge in most meta-analyses however is that combined effect sizes are dependent, e.g., because a study used multiple criteria or a research team performed multiple studies. This dependence is often neglected, although this will likely lead to biased results. Using simulation studies and real data analyses, we will study one promising novel approach to model dependence: multilevel modeling.

Congratulations to prof. Van Den Noortgate and his team!
