Project Activities
The PI first programmed and conducted simulation studies using the R software package in order to compare multiple approaches to effect size estimation. He then conducted the meta-analyses of real data to provide an applied comparison of the new approaches to current practices. By the end of the project, he expected to have given presentations at national conferences attended by applied researchers, prepared manuscripts for publication in both methodological and applied journals, and developed user-friendly software and documentation for conducting the proposed methods in multiple platforms, including R and Stata.
