Abstract: In a bivariate meta-analysis, the number of diagnostic studies involved is often very low so that frequentist methods may result in problems. Using Bayesian inference is particularly attractive as informative priors that add a small… read more here.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To optimize the use of confirmatory endoscopic exams (cystoscopy/proctoscopy) in the staging of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), the present study evaluates the predictive value of radiological exams (CT and MRI) to detect bladder/rectum… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02331888.2019.1581782
Abstract: ABSTRACT We propose a bivariate Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (FGM) copula model for bivariate meta-analysis, and develop a maximum likelihood estimator for the common mean vector. With the aid of novel mathematical identities for the FGM copula, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym14020186
Abstract: Traditional bivariate meta-analyses adopt the bivariate normal model. As the bivariate normal distribution produces symmetric dependence, it is not flexible enough to describe the true dependence structure of real meta-analyses. As an alternative to the… read more here.
