Bayesian hierarchical meta-analysis model

From Australian statisticians: “Meta-analysis is a popular method for combining results from different studies quantitatively, particularly when those results are in the form of aggregate or summary data. The present study aims to develop a Bayesian hierarchical meta-analysis model which will model published estimates of disease from atlases to identify specific patterns in disease incidence and will yield similar types of inferences to those obtained using the raw data. The proposed model is illustrated for a specific disease, cancer, in the present study.”    MORE
