论文摘要
当代统计出版物依靠模拟来评估新方法的性能,并将其与既定方法进行比较。在对数射线比例的荟萃分析的背景下,我们研究了实施模拟的方式如何影响此类结论。样本量和/或对照概率的分布选择极大地影响了统计方法的结论。在这里,我们报告了恒定样本量的结果。我们随后的两个出版物将涵盖正常和均匀分布的样本量。
Contemporary statistical publications rely on simulation to evaluate performance of new methods and compare them with established methods. In the context of meta-analysis of log-odds-ratios, we investigate how the ways in which simulations are implemented affect such conclusions. Choices of distributions for sample sizes and/or control probabilities considerably affect conclusions about statistical methods. Here we report on the results for constant sample sizes. Our two subsequent publications will cover normally and uniformly distributed sample sizes.
