Who is this book for?

• In editing the book, we have kept in mind a broad audience of graduate students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the theory and application of statistical methods for meta-analysis.
• Our target audience consists of statisticians involved in the development of new methods for meta-analysis, as well as scientists applying established methods in their research.
• The book is written at the level of graduate courses in statistics, but will be of interest to and readable for quantitative scientists from a range of disciplines.
• The book can be used as a graduate level textbook, as a general reference for methods, or as an introduction to specialized topics using state-of-the art methods.
