In this paper we use Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the impact of effect size heterogeneity on the results of a …

of Direct Monte Carlo (DMC) approaches for efficient evaluation of such possibly highly onelliptical posteriors. We show … attractive property that the generated random drawings are independent, which greatly helps the fast convergence of simulation … results, and which facilitates the evaluation of the numerical accuracy. The speed of ARDMC can be easily further improved by …
