Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by inspecting the repository for the existing random-sample analyses and their outcome outputs; define the summary boundary before implementing it. Done should include variability estimates across samples, forest-plot visualizations, and empirical-Bayes and full-Bayes meta-analytic results.

Description

User story

As a researcher I want to get an estimate of the variability of the results if random sampling is replicated.

If the analyses of the individual random samples of a virtual cohort have been performed, a summary analysis of all random samples should be possible. This analysis should target the variability between the individual random samples from the same virtual cohort. The results of the simulated results will summary by outcome using meta-analytic techniques that target the variability of the results under different parametrization settings. Visualization techniques using forest plots will be applied and analytical techniques using Empirical Bayes and full Bayes meta-analysis will be used.
