Interpreting `random_TE` and `fixed_TE` #16

Closed dhimmel closed 8 years ago

dhimmel commented 8 years ago

I assume random_TE and fixed_TE refer to the estimated effect size from random and fixed effects meta-analyses. What type of effect sizes are they? For example, are they log2(fold_change) or the coefficient of a logistic regression model (so log-odds-ratios)?

lof2 fold change. Here’s the r package I mimicked: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/meta/index.html https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/meta/index.html. metacon is the specific function. all the abbreviations are descried there.
