For any probability level there is generally only one such interval, which is also often known as the highest posterior density region. Unlike the usual confidence interval associated with frequentist inference, here the intervals specify the range within which parameters lie with a certain probability. The bayesian counterparts of the confidence interval used in frequentists statistics.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">0000420<a name="attribute-estimate-type-0000420"> </a></td><td>I-squared</td><td>The percentage of total variation across studies that is due to heterogeneity rather than chance. I2 can be readily calculated from basic results obtained from a typical meta-analysis as i2 = 100%×(q - df)/q, where q is cochran's heterogeneity statistic and df the degrees of freedom. Negative values of i2 are put equal to zero so that i2 lies between 0% and 100%. A value of 0% indicates no observed heterogeneity, and larger values show increasing heterogeneity. Unlike cochran's q, it does not inherently depend upon the number of studies considered. A confidence interval for i² is constructed using either i) the iterative non-central chi-squared distribution method of hedges and piggott (2001); or ii) the test-based method of higgins and thompson (2002). The non-central chi-square method is currently the method of choice (higgins, personal communication, 2006) – it is computed if the 'exact' option is selected.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">C53245<a name="attribute-estimate-type-C53245"> </a></td><td>Interquartile range</td><td>The difference between the 3d and 1st quartiles is called the interquartile range and it is used as a measure of variability (dispersion).</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">C44185<a name="attribute-estimate-type-C44185"> </a></td><td>P-value</td><td>The probability of obtaining the results obtained, or more extreme results, if the hypothesis being tested and all other model assumptions are true.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">C38013<a name="attribute-estimate-type-C38013"> </a></td><td>Range</td><td>The difference between the lowest and highest numerical values; the limits or scale of variation.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">C53322<a name="attribute-estimate-type-C53322"> </a></td><td>Standard deviation</td><td>A measure of the range of values in a set of numbers.
