Abstract: Abstract Meta-analysis is concerned with methods for combining evidences from seemingly different sources—but with the same goal. One simple example is derived from the context of measurement of pollution in a waterbody. Suppose several water samples have been randomly taken from the waterbody and sent to different laboratories for carrying out laboratory analyses.
