An Application of Gibbs Sampling to Estimation in Meta-Analysis: Accounting for Publication Bias.

Cleary, Richard J.; Casella, George

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v22 n2 p141-54 Sum 1997

A model is proposed to account for publication bias explicitly using a weight function that describes probability of publication for a particular study in terms of a selection parameter. A Bayesian analysis of this model using Gibbs sampling is conducted, and the model is applied to a published meta-analysis. (SLD)
