metamedian: An R package for meta-analyzing studies reporting medians

Sean McGrath, XiaoFei Zhao, Omer Ozturk +3

When performing an aggregate data meta-analysis of a continuous outcome, researchers often come across primary studies that report the sample median of the outcome. However, standa…

Standard error estimation in meta-analysis of studies reporting medians

Sean McGrath, Stephan Katzenschlager, Alexandra J. Zimmer +3

We consider the setting of an aggregate data meta-analysis of a continuous outcome of interest. When the distribution of the outcome is skewed, it is often the case that some prima…

Implementing multiple imputation for missing data in longitudinal studies when models are not feasible: A tutorial on the random hot deck approach

Chinchin Wang, Tyrel Stokes, Russell Steele +2

Objective: Researchers often use model-based multiple imputation to handle missing at random data to minimize bias while making the best use of all available data. However, there a…

Causal Simulation Experiments: Lessons from Bias Amplification

Tyrel Stokes, Russell Steele, Ian Shrier

Recent theoretical work in causal inference has explored an important class of variables which, when conditioned on, may further amplify existing unmeasured confounding bias (bias…
