Abstract:

In this talk, we will discuss the effect of publication bias on meta analysis in estimation of intervention effect as well as in power analysis for a future similar study. We propose two strategies to remedy the non-identification problem; one is based on multiple imputation method and the other is base on Bayesian method. Numerical analysis will be presented to illustrate the proposed solutions.
