Abstract
A meta-analysis is a statistical analysis of the data from some collection of studies in order to synthesize the results. In this paper we discuss issues that frequently arise in meta-analysis and give an overview of the methods used, with particular attention to the use of fixed- and random-effects approaches. The methods are then applied to two sample datasets.Mesh:
