Penalized likelihood inference for beta-binomial meta-analysis of proportions of rare events
Kotaro Sasaki, Hisashi Noma
Meta-analyses of proportions often involve sparse event counts and zero-event studies. The beta-binomial model has been used as a flexible random-effects model for pooling overdisp…
