Methods for Combining Information

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.
