R PACKAGES

There are two R packages for using RVE:

Used for conducting meta-analyses, including t-tests (Fisher, Tipton, & Hou, 2017)

Used with robumeta for conducting F-tests

(Pustejovsky, 2017)

STATA MACROS

There are two Stata macros for using RVE:

Used for conducting meta-analyses, including t-tests

(Hedberg, Pustejovsky, & Tipton, 2017)

Used with robumeta for conducting F-tests

(Tyszler, Pustejovsky, & Tipton, 2017)

In the Classroom

META-ANALYSIS TRAINING INSTITUTE (MATI)

We are planning to conduct a 1-week training institute in Chicago, IL each summer (2018-2020) on Advanced Methods in Meta-analysis.

The workshop is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (PI: Pigott; co-PIs: Beretvas, Polanin, Tipton, & Williams)
