This framework consisted of the following main phases: design and search for relevant studies, selection of studies, charting the data, and the collation, summarization, and reporting of the results.
While we had also intended to evaluate one or more formal measures insulin sensitivity, the wide variation in methodology and reporting across trials precluded quantitative summarization.
Probe set gene expression measurements are statistical summarizations of member probes, which can be influenced by dead probes, cross-hybridization and other effects [ 16, 17].
Such endpoints are often not defined, assessed and reported in a consistent and standardized manner, so qualitative summarization is more appropriate than quantitative combination of results across trials.

Wiki data and tools: Statistical reporting.
Data summarization and statistical analyses were done with PASW Statistics 19.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).
We have developed Repitools, a software package for the R environment; it contains many useful functions for quality assessment, visualization, summarization and statistical analysis of epigenomics experiments.
Files containing a single intensity value for each probe region delineated by a grid on each array image were imported into Partek Genomics Suite (version 6.6, Partek, St . Louis MO, USA) for probe set summarization and statistical analysis.
Descriptive statistics were used for data summarization and presentation.
