Meaningful Grouping of Studies in Meta-Analysis |
Statements
Performs meaningful subgrouping in a meta-analysis. This is a two-step process; first, use the iterative grouping functions (e.g., mgbin(), mgcont() ) to partition studies into statistically homogeneous clusters based on their effect size data. Second, use the meaning() function to analyze these new subgroups and understand their composition based on study-level characteristics (e.g., country, setting). This approach helps to uncover hidden structures in meta-analytic data and provide a deeper interpretation of heterogeneity.
