讲座题目：Big Data and Meta-Analytics（大数据与 荟萃分析）

Abstract:

In the big data era, it has become the norm, rather than the exception, that the data collected to address the similar scientific question come from diverse sources of studies. The art and science of synthesizing information from diverse sources to draw a more effective inference is generally referred to as meta-analytics. In recent years, meta-analysis has played an increasingly important role in statistical applications, and its applications to those fields have led to numerous scientific discoveries. This presentation is then designed for an overview of big data sciences, meta-analytics and software implementation in R.
