[R-meta] meta analysis with standard deviation or standard errors

Dear Gerta, thank tou very mucha for tour time.


1- the MC and SMCC are the methods I found for paired samples on page 103 of the metafor manual, I understood that they were equivalent to the MD and SMD of the individual samples.
Manual Link: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/metafor/metafor.pdf



If I had the pre post standard averages and deviations, only the difference with your
standard deviation, would I no longer need the ri? In that case what method do I use
or what code?


thank you so much
Martin

Dear Martin,


Sorry for the delay. The problem is that the mean and sd of pre and post do not suffice to know the sd of the pairwise differences, except one makes some assumptions about the intraindividual pre-post correlation. See the attached R code PrePost.R for illustration.


Do you mean by ri the correlation coefficients? If you impute them (say, 0.5), you may analyse the pre-post changes, but you should have some (external) evidence for using a certain value.


I am not sure about each one of your 5 points below, see inline below.


Best,

Gerta

Thank you very much Gerta.

I asked the question to see how I can solve two problems I have.

1- If I want to do an metaanalysis of mean difference analysis (Paired data, pre-post)
I have mean and sd pre and post, what methodd i use, MC , SMCC, etc
What is MC, SMCC? I don't know for what these abbreviations stand. Otherwise, see above.

2- If I only have the mean and standard deviation as I do
See above.

3 - ri is always necessary or can be imputed in some way
See also above

4 - without ri the standard deviation of the mean difference can be estimated
Not without knowing or making assumptions about the correlation, as said above.

5 - regarding question 4, both for independent samples and for paired samples

For independent samples it is different, because for differences of independent means we have:


sd(X + Y) = sqrt(var(X + Y)) = sqrt(var(X) + var(Y)) = sqrt(sd(X)^2 + sd(Y)^2)


For paired (more general. correlated) variables:


sd(X + Y) = sqrt(var(X) + var(Y) - 2Cov(X,Y))

Asunto: Re: [R-meta] meta analysis with standard deviation or standard errors


Dear Martin,

The answer is no. The standard error is not a measure of dispersion of the data, but a measure of the imprecision of estimation. A large standard error may come from large variability between data, but also from small sample size. The standard error becomes always small if the sample size becomes large (law of large numbers).

Best,

Gerta

Hello everyone !


I wanted to know if it is possible to use the standard error instead of the standard deviation as a measure of dispersion.
using the MD or SMD method for independent samples.
If this is possible,  there would be some difference in the conclusions.

Thank you so much

Yes, if the effect size measure is the same, one can make such a comparison. Also, there should not be any overlap in the studies included in the two meta-analyses (as otherwise the two estimates are not independent, as assumed by the test). And yes, you don't need sample sizes or tau^2 values or anything else - just the two estimates and their corresponding standard errors. And it doesn't depend on what random effects structure was used in the two meta-analyses -- assuming that the structures used in the two meta-analyses were appropriate for the studies at hand.

Best,
Wolfgang

Dear Wolfgang,

Thanks for your insights.
I am reaching out to my colleagues to see how they have made such
transformation.

In the meantime, based on the information that you have sent, it is possible
to compare two different meta-analyses if they are using the same effect
size, say lnRR? and this wald-type test can be performed only with grand
mean effect sizes and their standard error, without sample sizes or tau
value, if I understood correctly?

How would this approach be actually applicable to publications that
seemingly used similar mixed-effect models but there is no guarantee that
random effect structures are standardized between the two?

However, a standardized mean difference is given by (m1-m2)/sd, while a

Dear Wolfgang,

I hope you are doing well.

My research group is currently working on a project where they are trying


to


compare effect sizes generated from their current mixed-effect meta-


analysis


with effect sizes (based on similar response variables) calculated in other
meta-analysis publications.

We are currently using log response ratio and are trying to make some
statement or analysis to compare our grand mean effect sizes with other
studies. In more details, we are examining how herbivorous animal control
plant growth in degraded environment. Now, there is already a meta-analysis
out there that has examined this (in comparable manner) in natural
environment as opposed to our study.

My colleagues want to know if there is a way to make some type of


comparison


(ex. whether responses are stronger in degraded vs. natural environemnts)
between two effect sizes from these different studies using statistical
approaches.
So far what they have from other meta-analysis publication is grand mean
hedges'd and var which they transformed to lnRR and var in hopes to compare
with our lnRR effect sizes.

My view is that this is not possible unless we can have their actual raw
dataset and run a whole new model combining with our original raw dataset.
But I wanted to reach out to you and the community  if there is an
alternative approaches to compare mean effect sizes among different meta-
analysis which are assumed to have used similar approaches in study
selection and models (another issue being different random effect


structures


used in different meta-analysis which may not be very apparent from method
description).

I am not sure how my colleagues have transformed hedges' d to lnRR, based on what sources, but I will reach out again once I have more details. I, too, have not known if there is a way to make such effect size transformation.
