Meta-analysis - multiple outcome and dependency problem

Stanislaw

Hi there,

I have a question how can I deal with dependency in meta-analysis in JASP? I have a few outcomes (from one study) and want them to be included in the analysis. How can I avoid a dependency problem?

Only to mention that RevMan - one of the most popular meta-analysis software, does not have it. I know there are R=packages (e.g., robust variance estimation, RVE) but what about JASP?

The problem, as I read, is ubiquitous.

Perhaps see here:

Previous research has shown that treating dependent effect sizes as independent inflates the variance of the mean…

thank you

Hi Stan,

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you are correct about the issues with depend effect sizes. We currently do not have such procedures in JASP but we are working on adding them in the future.

Best,

Thank you, Frantisek. Hence I have to wait ;-)

When do you think it can be available?
