<h4 id="ci_distribution">Confidence Interval Distribution</h4> | ||
<p>When determining confidence intervals around means using standard distributions (rather than a | ||
boostrap procedure), the traditional approach in meta-analysis has generally been to use a Normal | ||
distribution. In earlier versions of <span class="metawin">MetaWin</span>, we used Student's <em>t</em> | ||
distribution instead, because we thought it useful to account for the uncertainty in estimation due | ||
to the small number of studies often found in meta-analyses. With this new version, the user can | ||
specify which distribution they wish to use, with the Normal distribution set as default. | ||
</p> | ||
<p>To change the distribution, choose the item under the | ||
<span class="menu">Options→Analysis Options</span> menu, which will toggle between the two | ||
distributions. The current distribution is indicated by the icon to the left of the menu option | ||
(either a <em><strong>Z</strong></em> or a <em><strong>t</strong></em>), as well as by the text | ||
of the menu item which specifies the distributions being changed both "from" and "to". | ||
<span class="metawin">MetaWin</span> will attempt to remember this choice the next time you run the | ||
program.</p> | ||
<p>The specified distribution is also listed as one of the user-specified parameters at the beginning of | ||
analysis output.</p> | ||
