Wen-Feng-- Briefly -- 1. While planning your experimental design, state your research questions in "natural language"-- before you start collecting data. 2. Create a Prediction/Regression/Linear Model that allows you to translate your "natural language" research questions in terms of your Mode

I have a number of studies who estimate an unknown proportion (incidence of a rare disease). What is the correct way to estimate a global proportion by a meta-analytic approach from different independent studies? 1) Weighting the studies' estimators by n (assuming a common proportion but neglecti

Dear listers, I am stuck with the experiment design of my dissertation. My experiment would like to investigate the influences of different factors of stimuli on the subject's response (each factor is a continuous variable), and further build a regression model for these relations. My question
