Abstract

Research synthesis is an empirical process. As with any empirical research, statistical considerations have an influence at many points in the process. Some of these, such as how to estimate a particular effect parameter or establish its sampling uncertainty, are narrowly matters of statistical practice. They are considered in detail in subsequent chapters of this handbook. Other issues are more conceptual and might best be considered statistical considerations that impinge on general matters of research strategy or interpretation. This chapter addresses selected issues related to interpretation.
