Doctoral candidate in Biostatistics, Mengli Xiao, will present: "Innovative Statistical Methods for Meta-Analyses With Between-Study Heterogeneity" PhD Adviser: Haitao Chu Abstract: To assess the benefits and harms of medical interventions, meta-analysis plays a vital role in combining results from multiple studies. While similarities between studies motivate the notion of combining independent results, the combined result may be biased by between-study heterogeneity. Specifically, heterogeneity originating from non-replicable studies (that is, study results are inconsistent) or varying study-specific characteristics can change the…
