In this seminar presented by the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, we will discuss a linkage between the big-data analysis and the classical meta-analysis. In data-rich big-data analysis, a commonly used approach is the so-called “Divide-and-Recombine”, which is linked with the classical “data-poor” statistical meta-analysis. We review the classical fixed-effects and random-effects meta-analysis methods and further discuss the relative efficiency under a general likelihood inference setting.
