Sixth International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS'99)
Research Synthesis in Software Engineering: A Case for Meta-Analysis
Boca Raton, Florida
November 04-November 06
ISBN: 0-7695-0403-5
Will Hayes, Carnegie Mellon University
The use of meta-analytic techniques to summarize empirical software engineering research results is illustrated using a set of 5 published experiments from the literature. The intent of the analysis is to guide future work in this area through objective summarization of the literature to date. A focus on effect magnitude, in addition to statistical significance is championed, and the reader is provided with an illustration of simple methods for computing effect magnitudes.
