About the Book

Many different statistical models and procedures are available for the same purpose - to quantitatively integrate a research database consisting of effect sizes. This book provides a comprehensive treatment and comparison of the statistical procedures available for meta-analysis with correlations as effect sizes. In the first part of the book, the basic ideas, steps, and aspects of the methodological background of meta-analysis are presented. The second part focuses on the statistical methods of extant meta-analytical approaches. The statistical properties of effect sizes - with focus on the correlation coefficient - are explored in detail. As general frameworks for meta-analysis, fixed effects, random effects, mixture, and hierarchical linear models are described. Both the detailed description of the effect sizes' properties and the general frameworks provide important classification aspects for the specific approaches of meta-analysis. The major approaches used in practice, as well as refinements of these, are presented in a consistent manner to facilitate their comparison. In the third part, the results of a comprehensive Monte-Carlo study are presented to evaluate the performance of the approaches in a large set of possible situations. The last part summarizes and evaluates the theoretical and Monte Carlo study results. It is highlighted when the procedures of commonly applied approaches work and when they fail to provide reliable results. This book is relevant not only for researchers for whom correlations represent an effect size of vital interest, but also for those desiring an enhanced understanding of the methods of meta-analysis. The outcome of reading this work will be a much more informed choice for researchers of the procedures best suited to different situations of interest, previously unavailable in such a comprehensive manner.

Review :
"This book is a must for the researcher wanting to have a further understanding and evaluation of meta-analysis methods. This book should help the target audience in making an informed choice and evaluation of the approaches and the corresponding results of meta-analysis". Diane M. Tomasic, EdD, RN (West Liberty State College) "...this is a timely book which should be included...on the bookshelves of those with a particular interest or expertise in statistics" Lt. Col. N. K. Cooper RAMC, Consultant in Occupational Medicine, Army Personnel Centre in Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2004
