    A meta-analysis combines the quantitative results of multiple individual studies on a topic to draw overall conclusions. It involves standardizing the findings of different studies on a common scale called an effect size. Effect sizes quantify the strength of the relationship or difference between groups being studied. Common effect sizes include Hedge's D, which compares differences in means relative to pooled variance, and ratios or log ratios of means. A meta-analysis procedure involves searching for relevant studies, extracting effect sizes and other data, and statistically analyzing and modeling the pooled results.

    Effect sizes

    What is an effect size?

    Lecture Biodiversity Metastudies | FSU Jena | Ulrich Brose | 13


    Effect sizes
    Hedge’s D:
    • Comparing two groups such as treatment versus control
    • Comparison of means by Hedge’s D
    • Differences in means
    • Standardized to different variance in data (sample size, power)
    Treatment - Control
    D= Jm
    Example: Hedge's D SDPooled

    (n t -1)sdt + (n c -1)sdc
    SDPooled =
    nt + nc - 2

    Problems:
    • Different D due to
    (a) large differences in means (nominator) or
    (b) small pooled variance (denominator)?

    Lecture Biodiversity Metastudies | FSU Jena | Ulrich Brose | 14


    Effect sizes
    Ratios and log ratios:
    • Comparing two groups such as treatment versus control
    • Ratio of means or log of the ratio

    Problems:
    • Ratio is not symmetric (doubling = 2, halfing = 0.5, mean = 1.25)
    • Log ratio is symmetric but requires:
    (a) only positive values
    (b) non-zero values

    Lecture Biodiversity Metastudies | FSU Jena | Ulrich Brose | 15


    Effect sizes
    Other effect sizes:
    • Pearson’s correlation coefficient r (Fisher’s z-transformation)
    • Mantel correlations
    • Slopes from linear regressions
    • … many more ….
