Do you actually count number in that precise volume or perhaps measure total in a larger volume and divide by number of microlitres counted...then you will get decimals]]> 2017-06-12 15:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/epzjs/Bookmarks/wish/176118478 julianhiggins1 https://padlet.com/epzjs/Bookmarks/wish/176214569

Do you think this introduces bias in a case of disease prevalence being the outcome of interest]]> 2017-06-14 05:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/epzjs/Bookmarks/wish/176350881 ephej https://padlet.com/epzjs/Bookmarks/wish/176375392 Someone asked me about meta-analysis of correlations. The most common approach is to transform correlations to the "Fisher's Z" scale and then meta-analyse these.
