DOI: 10.1080/10543406.2022.2105345
Abstract: ABSTRACT In meta-analysis practice, researchers frequently face studies that report the same outcome differently, such as a continuous variable (e.g., scores for rating depression) or a binary variable (e.g., counts of patients with depression dichotomized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biostatistics/kxw059
Abstract: &NA; We consider estimating causal odds ratios using an instrumental variable under a logistic structural nested mean model (LSNMM). Current methods for LSNMMs either rely heavily on possible “uncongenial” modeling assumptions or involve intricate numerical… read more here.
