Description
This dataset is generated by nonnormal data with function rnonnorm. It contains the descriptive data in individual studies in the meta-analysis.
Usage
beta_mdat
Format
A data.frame with 40 studies:
- study
- No of studies 
- n1
- sample size of group 1 with equal sample size for the two studies. Generated with uniform distribution. 
- m1
- mean of group 1. Population mean is equal to 1. The data of group 1 is generated with skewness = 4 and kurtosis = 2. 
- sd1
- standard deviation of group 1. Population sd of group 1 is equal to 1. 
- lo1
- minimum of the generated sample for group 1. 
- hi1
- maximum of the generated sample for group 1. 
- n2
- sample size of study 2; n1 = n2 for each study 
- m2
- mean of group 2. Population mean is equal to 1.5. The data of group 2 is generated with skewness = -4 and kurtosis = 2. 
- sd2
- standard deviation of group 2. Population sd of group 2 is equal to 1. 
- lo2
- minimum of the generated sample for group 2. 
- hi2
- maximum of the generated sample for group 2. 
- skew1
- sample skewness for group 1. 
- skew2
- sammple skewness for group 2.
