Dear Nick (and others),
Sincerely Appologies.
It is not my intention for you to do any guess work...
I am working on a meta-analysis the data I have looks like this:
All Data Collection | Name of the journal the article appeared
Procedures together | J1 J2 J3 J4 | Total
Not Mention | 68 41 32 25 | 166
One Step mention | 17 14 17 12 | 60
Two Steps mention | 8 9 8 5 | 30
Three Steps mention | 4 5 2 6 | 17
Four Steps mention | 1 2 1 1 | 5
Five Steps mention | 1 0 0 0 | 1
----------------------+--------------------------------------------+----------
Total | 99 71 60 49 | 279
Today, it was suggested to me that I could calculate the mean number
of mentions, within each of 4 journals and then
perform metan to calculate a weighted average mean across the 4
journals. In order to do this I have to transpose the data from the table
above to this:
Data Collection Procedures j1 j2 j3 j4 total
> Not Mentioned 68 41 32 25 166
> One Step Mentioned 17 14 17 12 60
> Two Steps Mentioned 8 9 8 5 30
> Three Steps Mentioned 4 5 2 6 17
> Four Steps Mentioned 1 2 1 1 5
> Five Steps Mentioned 1 0 0 0 1
I am stuck at this point, because I am struggling to figure out how to
calculate the mean number of mentions with their standard errors for
this data.
Many thanks in advance, Aggie
