The meta-analysis of multi-centre trials can be based on either "xed or random e!ect models. This paper argues for the general use of random e!ect models, and illustrates the value of non-parametric maximum likelihood (NPML) analysis of such trials. The same general approach uni"es administrative &l

The problem of testing for a centre e!ect in multi-centre studies following a proportional hazards regression analysis is considered. Two approaches to the problem can be used. One "ts a proportional hazards model with a "xed covariate included for each centre (except one). The need for a centre spe
When combining results from separate investigations in a meta-analysis, random effects methods enable the modelling of differences between studies by incorporating a heterogeneity parameter that accounts explicitly for across-study variation. We develop a simple form for the variance of Cochran's ho
This paper explores the implications of measurement error in the analysis of compliance}response relationships in data from randomized trials. Given that compliance measures are rarely, if ever, error-free indicators of exposure it is argued that both the designs for the collection of compliance dat
