Meta-analysis using linear mixed models.
Psychologists often use special computer programs to perform meta-analysis. Until recently, this had been necessary because standard statistical packages did not provide procedures for such analysis. This paper introduces linear mixed models as a framework for meta-analysis in psychological research, using a popular general purpose statistical package, SAS. The approach is illustrated with three examples, using SAS PROC MIXED.
