Share Description
In this course, you will :
- Although most researchers are aware of what meta-analysis is, few are aware of how to calculate an effect size from popular metrics such as risk ratios, or how the distinction between fixed and random effects can lead the meta-analyst astray.
- This advanced-level course for practitioners and researchers in data science and statistics covers raw mean differences—specifically for experimental and comparison groups—as well as how to convert useful outcome measures such as relative risk and odds ratios to commensurate measures of effect size.
- Discover how confidence intervals for binary outcome measures are calculated.
