rlmc_scaling_low {si4bayesmeta} | R Documentation |
Computes RLMC-adjusted scaled study-specific within-study standard deviations of observations in the likelihood according to Roos et al. (2020). The mean of the scaled observation is assumed to be fixed at the mean of the original observation and only its standard deviation is changed.
rlmc_scaling_low(sigma, rlmc, hh)
sigma |
a vector of fixed standard deviations provided in the likelihood |
rlmc |
the original RLMC |
hh |
perturbation for RLMC |
In this function the reduced impact of observations by increasing their standard deviation is implemented, which we call the 'low' case. Larger scaled sigmai values mean that the observations are made less informative.
Scaled sigma (a vector with within-study standard deviations).
