Network Meta-Analysis
*Christopher Schmid, Tufts University Medical Center 

Keywords:

This workshop will describe techniques for meta-analysis of data when it is desired to compare more than two treatments in a network. Emphasis will be on Bayesian models which allow for ranking of the comparative efficacy of treatments through calculation of the relevant posterior probabilities. Knowledge of the motivation for meta-analysis as well as basic statistical models for combining data of different types will be assumed.
