Abstract:
|
Meta-analysis provides a useful framework for combining information from disparate studies. It has been widely used in clinical trials to inference on drug efficacy. Xie, M., Singh, K., and Strawderman, W. (2011) proposed a unifying framework for meta-analysis based on confidence distribution approach. Yang, G., Liu, D., Liu, R., Xie, M., and Hoaglin, D. (2013) developed a network meta-analysis based on that framework. In this talk, we apply the network meta-analysis method to the data from stroke studies provided by Hart (2007) and demonstrate that the new method has several advantages over the traditional meta-analysis method used by Hart (2007).
