Mr Yefeng Yang

Research Associate

I have a close collaboration with Prof. Shinichi Nakagawa and Dr. Malgorzata Lagisz, working on meta-analysis data science, such as multilevel modeling, multivariate analysis, meta-analysis of interaction, meta-analysis of magnitude, and meta-analysis of variation.

My research activities mainly focus on meta-analysis data science and research synthesis. I am good at advanced meta-analytic techniques, such as multilevel model, multivariate model, meta-analysis of variation, meta-analysis of magnitude, meta-analysis of interaction, and second-order meta-analysis. I am also interested in developing advanced meta-analytic techniques in collaboration with Prof. Shinichi Nakagawa.
