Exploring Consequences of Simulation Design for Apparent Performance of Statistical Methods. 2: Results from simulations with normally and uniformly distributed sample sizes
arXiv:2007.05354
Abstract
This report continues our investigation of effects a simulation design may have on the conclusions on performance of statistical methods. In the context of meta-analysis of log-odds-ratios, we consider five generation mechanisms for control probabilities and log-odds-ratios. Our first report (Kulinskaya et al. 2020) considered constant sample sizes. Here we report on the results for normally and uniformly distributed sample sizes.
arXiv comment8 pages and full simulation results as ancillary files (Appendix A and Appendix B), comprising 400 figures in each of the files, each figure presenting 12 combinations of sample sizes and numbers of studies. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2006.16638
