credible intervals
Methods for calculating confidence and credible intervals for the residual between-study variance in random effects meta-regression models
... We have presented three methods for performing inter- val estimation of the residual between-study variance in random effects meta-regression models. All three meth- ods are relatively straightforward extensions of ...
