Advances in Statistical Methods for Meta-Analysis.

Hedges, Larry V.

New Directions for Program Evaluation, n24 p25-42 Dec 1984

The adequacy of traditional effect size measures for research synthesis is challenged. Analogues to analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis for effect sizes are presented. The importance of tests for the consistency of effect sizes in interpreting results, and problems in obtaining well-specified models for meta-analysis are discussed. (BS)
