Inference about a common mean of several univariate normal populations

Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 3:30pm

We will provide a comprehensive review of basics of statistical meta-analysis and discuss its relevance for the problem of drawing inference about a common mean of several univariate normal populations with unknown and unequal variances. This problem, which is related to Behrens-Fisher problem, has many applications, and we will study two real data sets.
