Bootstrap methods improve meta-analysis estimation by addressing normality assumption violations. Simulation shows parametric and one nonparametric bootstrap approach outperform standard maximum likelihood, despite a bias-precision tradeoff.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Meta-analysis

Background:

  • Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) in meta-analysis relies on asymptotic theory and normality assumptions.
  • Finite samples and violated normality can lead to biased estimates and inaccurate standard errors in meta-analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate bootstrap methods for adjusting MLE in meta-analysis.
  • To compare the performance of parametric and nonparametric bootstrap methods against standard MLE.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two parametric and two nonparametric bootstrap methods.
  • Illustration using empirical data and a simulation study with raw data from normal distributions.

Main Results:

  • Parametric bootstrap methods and one nonparametric method generally outperform ordinary MLE.

  • These superior methods exhibit a bias/precision tradeoff.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recommended use of specific bootstrap methods for meta-analysis, excluding bias correction.
    • Bootstrap adjustments offer improved estimation accuracy over standard MLE under normality violations.
