The inverse variance estimate of the overall effect across strata

Described in Chapter 10 "Stratified 2x2 Tables and Meta-Analysis"

InverseVariance_estimate_stratified_2x2(n, link = "logit")

Arguments

n: the observed table (a 2x2xk matrix, where k is the number of strata)
link: the link function ('linear', 'log', or 'logit')

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.

Examples

InverseVariance_estimate_stratified_2x2(doll_hill_1950)
#> The inverse variance estimate =  3.5563
InverseVariance_estimate_stratified_2x2(hine_1989)
#> The inverse variance estimate =  1.7642
