Applied Meta- Analysis

3 credits · Graduate School

Meta-analysis is a set of statistical procedures for aggregating, analyzing, and synthesizing information from multiple quantitative research studies. We will cover the major steps involved in conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. We will focus on technical issues and analyses unique to this form of quantitative research. To provide practical experience, each student will complete a systematic review and meta-analysis project over the course of the semester. Students need previous coursework in graduate-level statistics covering the generalized linear model. [3]
