Methods for Combining Information

Guido Knapp

Institute of Applied Stochastics and Operations Research

TU Clausthal, Germany

In this talk, we consider several methods for combining results from independent experiments addressing the same question. Besides the classical likelihood approach using a fixed or random effects model, a higher order likelihood approach and a generalized inference  approach are discussed. Real data examples and simulation results illustrate the different methods. Moreover, the relevant R packages for conducting the analyses are presented.
