Funnel Plots in Meta-Analysis
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2018 10:33 am
Hi,
I have done 2 random effects meta-analysis using Empirical Bayes estimator. I have plotted the two corresponding funnel plots.
However I have some doubts interpreting the two side-arms of the triangle of the funnel plot. I have plotted it with Standard error on y-axis v/s Mean difference on x-axis.
What is the formula for creating and calculating these two side-arms of the triangle in the funnel plot ? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
