Converting Among Effect Sizes - Meta-analysis

CHAPTER 7 Converting Among Effect SizesIntroductionConverting from the log odds ratio todConverting fromdto the log odds ratioConverting fromrtodConverting fromdtorINTRODUCTIONE arlier in this Part we discussed the case where different study designs were usedto compute the same Effect size. For example, studies that used independent groupsand studies that used matched groups were both used to yield estimates of thestandardized mean difference,g. There is no problem in combining these estimatesin a Meta-analysis since the Effect size has the same meaning in all , however, the case where some studies report a difference in means,which is used to compute a standardized mean difference. Others report a differencein proportions which is used to compute an odds ratio. And others report a correla-tion. All the studies address the same broad question, and we want to include themin one Meta-analysis .
