Title: Combining Information by Using Likelihood with Application
Author(s): Myung Soon Song*

Keywords: likelihood ; correlation matrix ; combining information ; MLE ; meta-analysis
Abstract:

Numerical approximations are important research areas for dealing with complicated functional forms. Techniques for developing accurate and efficient calculation of combined likelihood functions in meta-analysis are studied. A multivariate numerical integration method for developing a better approximation of the likelihood for correlation matrices is studied. Analyses for inter-correlations among Cognitive Anxiety, Somatic Anxiety and Self Confidence from Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2) are explored. Evaluation and Visualization of the likelihood and the MLE is conducted. Comparison with two conventional methods (joint asymptotic weighted average method & marginal asymptotic weighted average method) is shown.
