A novel estimator of between-study variance in random-effects models

BMC Genomics

Table 1 The number of DE genes and FDRs from each method in the simulation data

Note: K represents the number of studies on the same or related topic; N denotes the number of the samples in every study; G represents the number of genes in every sample; DE₁ represents the number of DE genes with p<0.05; DE₂ represents the number of DE genes for which FDR<0.05. FDR₁ and FDR₂ are obtained from Additional file 2; DSLD2 represents the random-effects methods based on \(D_{g}^{2}\) proposed in this paper; DSLR2 represents the random-effects method based on R²; DSL denotes the standard random-effects model; FEM is the fixed-effects model
