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
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
The growing interest in detection of genetic effects for complex traits along with molecular revolution has stimulated many linkage studies. Multiple replication studies tend to produce different results. In such situations, rigorous meta-analysis methods can be useful for assessing the overall evid
