September, 3 — regular seminar

Event ended

Topic: “Мeta-analysis: Why and how to conduct it?”
Speaker: Aigul Mavletova (Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Social Sciences, NRU HSE)

The Laboratory for Comparative Social Research announces the next  regular seminar, which will be held in Moscow (Myasnitskaya st., 22, room 511) on September 3 at 18-00 p.m.  Aigul Mavletova (Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Social Sciences, NRU HSE) will deliver a report “Мeta-analysis: Why and how to conduct it?”. 

There is a bunch of experimental and quasi-experimental studies with different size effects and p-values in any topic researcher would like to study. A higher probability for being published and being cited have those studies with a larger and significant size effect. However these studies can have a higher type I error, when a true null hypothesis is rejected. How can we solve that problem? One of the possible solutions is conducting a meta-analysis.

Meta-analysis is a method for information synthesis to calculate effect size. A number of peer-reviewed journals are willing to publish meta-analytical papers, since they are highly cited.

In my presentation I will talk about basic procedures of meta-analysis: which papers to include in a meta-analysis, which statistics to choose, and which model to apply – fixed-effect or random-effects model.

Everyone interested is invited!

Working language is English.

Videoconference with St. Petersburg office of the LCSR (room 303, 55-2, Sedova st.) will be provided. Guests are free to enter the building.

Guests from Moscow are free to enter to the 5th floor from 17:45 till 18:15. For questions: +7-495-772-95-90 extension number 12244.
