Dear all,
There are still a few seats available for the online course on Meta-analysis in R, happening in May (13-16).
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/metain-r/
This course provides an overview and introduction to modern methods for meta-analysis.
The course covers a comprehensive overview of systematic review and meta-analysis processes, including problem specification, search methods, data extraction, quality evaluation, statistical analysis, model interpretation, and result presentation. It delves into parameter estimation for quantifying individual study results and overall literature findings. Additionally, it explores how statistical artifacts can affect study consistency and methods to mitigate biases using random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression. Participants will learn about moderator analysis, interpretation of average effects, and corrections for various statistical artifacts. The course also addresses model diagnostics, sensitivity analyses, and modern techniques for detecting publication bias. Finally, it discusses meta-analysis within the broader context of systematic review, emphasizing principles for reliable, transparent, and reproducible research. Through a blend of lectures, hands-on tutorials, and practice exercises using real datasets, participants will gain practical skills in analyzing and interpreting meta-analytic results using R and packages like metafor and psychmeta.
