upsi-129522025-07-10 Effect sizes of fixed and random effects model in Meta-Analysis 2010 Foo, Chuan Hui <p>Over a few decades ago, meta-analysis has rapidly developed in various fields of studies to improve</p><p>the quality of previous research by quantitative review. Quantitative review assesses an overall</p><p>magnitude of the effect from multiple studies. Hence, the objective in this dissertation is to</p><p>determine the methods of finding effect sizes for different conditions in meta-analysis. Two key</p><p>findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, vote-counting method will be applied if the effect</p><p>size estimates are not available. Next, fixed effects and random effects methods will be used in</p><p>combining the effect size estimates when effect size estimates can be calculated. 55 Randomised</p><p>Controlled Trials (RCTs) on Tamoxifen treatment for early breast cancer patients are observed</p><p>according to recurrences and mortality cases, respectively. The data is then analysed by using</p><p>the latest statistical software, Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) version 2.0. CMA is found to be</p><p>beneficial and interactive in the process of meta-analysis. The selection bias as well as the</p><p>publication bias should be avoided in order to produce better quality meta-analysis.</p><p></p> 2010 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=12952 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=12952 text eng N/A openAccess Masters Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun Fakulti Sains dan Matematik N/A
