Publication bias of the results of medical studies can invalidate evidence-based medicine. The existing methodology for modeling this essentially relies upon the symmetry of the funnel plot. We present a new method of modeling publication bias that u... Read More about Using journal impact factors to correct for the publication bias of medical studies.

Journal Article
Baker, R., & Scarf, P. (2006). Predicting the outcomes of annual sporting contests. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 55(2), 225-239. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9876.2006.00525.x

Data from 20 sporting contests in which the same two teams compete regularly are studied. Strong and weak symmetry requirements for possible models are identified, and some simple models are proposed and fitted to the data. The need to compute the ex...
