Meta-analytical models are typically formulated as a mixed-effects model where the sampling variances of the effect sizes are treated as known. In principle, such models could be fitted with standard mixed-modelling software such as the…

In modern randomized experiments, large-scale data collection increasingly yields rich baseline covariates and auxiliary information from multiple sources. Such information offers opportunities for more precise treatment effect estimation,…
