Statistical meta-analysis was not performed because of high heterogeneity.
Consequently, heterogeneity in study methods and applied MRI parameters was observed, which precluded the performance of statistical meta-analysis.
A statistical meta-analysis integrates empirical studies, investigating the same outcome described as a mean effect size statistic.
Yet narrative syntheses can also highlight trends and explanations for findings in a way that statistical meta-analysis cannot.
Quantitative articles were pooled in a statistical meta-analysis using the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistical Assessment and Review Instrument.
The study employed statistical meta-analysis of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) RP-884 database, which covered several climatic zones.
In response to this problem, highly efficient techniques have recently been developed based on a statistical meta-model (the emulator) that is built to approximate the computer model.
Through its use of statistical meta-analysis, this review has improved upon previous work; nevertheless, there are two main related areas of likely disappointment for policymakers and programme implementers.
The objective is to develop a new 1-D framework, referred to as interpreted CFD (iCFD) models, in which statistical meta-models are used to calculate the pseudo-dispersion coefficient (D) as a function of design and flow boundary conditions.
