-systematic impact of omitted variable bias in primary studies. Our results show that the mixed effects estimator is to be preferred to … non-systematic impact of omitted variable bias, using the mixed effects estimator may be suboptimal. We also address the … impact of sample size and show that meta-analysis sample size is far more effective in reducing meta-estimator variance and …

suitable for model identification. The BDS test and the modified version are compared numerically. To enable fair power …A test for serial independence is proposed which is related to the BDS test but focuses on tail event probabilities … rather than probabilities near the center of the distribution. The motivation behind this approach is to obtain a test more …
