DESCRIPTION:Prof. John Copas\, University of Warwick\n\nTitle: Meta analy
 sis and the curse of publication bias\n\nAbstract:\nPublication bias is 
 a major threat to the validity of the meta analysis of literature review
 s. A common conjecture is that research studies reporting a significant 
 result are more likely to be selected for review than studies whose resu
 lts are inconclusive. It is impossible to correct for publication bias b
 ut\, at least under this conjecture\, we can assess how sensitively revi
 ew results are likely to depend on different degrees of selection. We wi
 ll look at examples taken from different areas of the social and medical
  sciences.\n\n\nTea/coffee and cakes from 2.45.\n\nAll welcome.  No regi
 stration necessary.\n\nThe Cathie Marsh Institute (CMI) provides a focal
  point at The University of Manchester for the application of quantitati
 ve methods in interdisciplinary social science research in order to gene
 rate a world class research environment.\n
