Abstract:

We discuss statistical issues associated with the synthesis of data from multiple studies involving multiple endpoints. Hierarchical models are shown to provide a useful and flexible framework for analysis in such settings and provide a capacity for sensitivity analysis and assessing model uncertainty. The methods are applied for a case study in methylmercury.
