Statistics & Probability Letters, 2018, vol. 134, issue C, 93-97

Abstract: A new model with a variable size of random effect is introduced for the meta-analysis of 2 × 2 tables. The random-effects parameter has a simple interpretation in terms of sample size and offers a new measure of heterogeneity.
