Abstract: How to combine information from different sources is becoming an important statistical area of research under the name of Meta Analysis. This paper shows that the estimation of a parameter or the forecast of a random variable can also be seen as a process of combining information. It is shown that this approach can provide sorne useful insights on the robustness properties of sorne statistical procedures, and it also allows the comparison of statistical models within a common framework. Sorne general combining rules are illustrated using examples from ANOVA analysis, diagnostics in regression, time series forecasting, missing value estimation and recursive estimation using the Kalman Filter.
