Suppose we have 5 studies of our choice with percentage in results. Can we perform meta analysis based on percentage, as mean, sd or other values are not reported in any of those studies.
I am performing a meta-analysis with 137 study arms. From each arm I have extracted a proportion of a disease. Here are my proportions:  [1] 0.002710027 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.017857143 0.000000000 0.010269576 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000  [12] 0.010000000 0.053691275 0.052631579 0.070351759 0.000000000 0.108333333 0.262626263 0.013043478 0.000000000 0.007000000 0.000000000  [23] 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.240000000 0.000000000 0.033333333 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.013201320 0.000000000  [34] 0.005361930 0.002308403 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.030000000 0.046296296 0.000000000 0.020000000 0.045454545 0.161073826  [45] 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.095238095 0.007194245 0.001472754 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.012048193  [56] 0.000000000 0.048780488 0.000000000 0.086253369 0.033898305 0.011966701 0.004162331 0.062790698 0.005555556 0.004451039 0.287356322  [67] 0.083333333 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.014666667 0.006160164 0.023809524 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.001552795 0.102564103  [78] 0.030555556 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.029411765 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000  [89] 0.003231018 0.000000000 0.037500000 0.040247678 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.007299270 0.014598540 0.000000000 0.015118790 0.000000000 [100] 0.000000000 0.005555556 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.003039514 0.042145594 0.250000000 0.307692308 0.324444444 0.002057613 [111] 0.008333333 0.000000000 0.027522936 0.022598870 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.135278515 0.033333333 0.000000000 0.000000000 [122] 0.003690037 0.003412969 0.000000000 0.017391304 0.004237288 0.033210332 0.000000000 0.008928571 0.038834951 0.030303030 0.142857143 [133] 0.170000000 0.000000000 0.112903226 0.000000000 0.007299270   A majority of the proportions has zero value. I am struggling with whether I should go for logit or arcsine transformation. One source says that arcsine transformation should not be used . On the other hand, I several zero counts. With logit transformation values 0 and 1 are mapped to infinity, and according to another source I should go with arcsine transformation . Furthermore, I found another study close to my topic in which they used arcsine transformation. The default in R with metaprop function is logit.   Which one I should go with my data?
recovering deleted file held open by apache? Suppose an apache log file gets deleted but it's held open by apache; then this is what I am doing:  pid=$(lsof | grep text.txt | awk '/deleted/ {print $2}') fd=$(lsof | grep text.txt | awk '/deleted/ {print $4}' | grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}")  cp /proc/$pid/fd/$fd directorytobecopied/testfile.txt   This is what I am doing to recover the file and put it back where it was. Is there any simpler way of doing this because above code doesn't look good. Furthermore how do I know from where the file was deleted(directorytobecopied) so that I don't have to manually ask somebody where the file was located originialy and put it back there. What's the best way to version CSS and JS URLs? If APS-C and similar crop-sensor digital cameras have a focal length multiplying effect such that a 50mm lens has an apparent focal length closer to the field of view of an 80mm on a full frame camera, and yet at the same time the depth of field for the smaller sensor camera is more like the depth of field a 50mm lens would produce on a full frame camera (using the same aperture), then this would seem to suggest the concept of an "aperture dividing effect."  In other words, a 50mm f/1.8 lens on an APS-C camera would act more like a 80mm f/2.8 (approx. 1.8 * 1.6x) lens in 35mm equivalent — for depth of field, not considering exposure.  Can someone with a better understanding of the physics involved clarify this for me.  I've never seen this concept explicitly mentioned anywhere, so I am a bit suspect of it. The speed of light is the same in all inertial frames.  Does it change from a non-inertial frame to another? Can it be zero?  If it is not constant in non-inertial frames, is it still bounded from above? Is it possible to allow usage for an app or program for a specific times on a Mac? I was trying to achieve this using a second account (which is the admin account) and Parental Controls, but it seemed this isn't possible to do so.  I know there are some programs which you can download that help you with this, (Cold Turkey, for example). But, it would be much easier if I could do this using only tools already available on macOS. pc ram memory 2x1GB or 1x2GB I don't know if it's the right place to ask but can somebody advise me for buying a ram memory for my computer.  I have a Dell Vostro 200 with 1GB of RAM and 667MHz. (2 x 512MB)  I want to buy raise the amount of RAM but I'm confused whether to buy 1 x 2GB or 2 x 1GB  I know it's the same for the available amount of memory but is ther a difference maybe in the clock speed so that 2 x 667MHz will be better than 1 x 667MHz. or maybe accessing one single memory slot will be faster and better than accessing two slots.  Please anyone helps. Interior of closure of open set in topological space If $U$ is an open set in a topological space, is it true that $U$ is the interior of the closure of itself?   If $U$ is open, it must be the interior of itself. But is it the interior of the closure of itself? In the closure, we include all points $x$ such that any open set containing $x$ also contains a point in $U$. In the interior of the closure, we take the union of all open sets contained in the closure. Is there a CSS parent selector? A "friends list" on Stack Overflow would be nice How do I control Macbook volume when a DP display is connected? When I plug my Mac  into a DisplayPort monitor that has loudspeakers, the Mac's volume controls become disabled.    Is Apple assuming that if I have external speakers I am so much better using their own volume control that I have to be forced to do it?   That is annoying because the monitor's volume controls are buried in terrible menus accessed by terrible buttons on the back of the monitor.  Also, if I am inside an app where I can select the audio device and I select the Mac's internal speakers, the volume controls are STILL disabled.  Is there no way to control the volume of an app when an external speaker is connected even if the app is not using the external speaker?????  Some additional info: It's a Macbook Pro 13" 2018 version.  Using a Thunderbolt to Displayport cable, plugging in to a Dell monitor with speakers.    In another location I use the same cable to plug in to Dell monitors with Displayport but without built in speakers in the monitors.   At that location the volume controls remain active and they control the internal speaker in the laptop as they should. Why 220V and 110V? Why did the industry choose these seemingly unintuitive values of 110V and 220V for the mains AC? Is there a physical reason why they aren't simply 100V and 200V? A function for which one-sided limits are zero and infinity I am wondering what the differences are between mixed and unmixed GLMs. For instance, in SPSS the drop down menu allows users to fit either:   analyze-&gt; generalized linear models-&gt; generalized linear models &amp; analyze-&gt; mixed models-&gt; generalized linear     Do they deal with missing values differently?    My dependent variable is binary and I have several categorical and continuous independent variables.

I only want to keep rows in the output that are in file 2 based on column1.   I have tried join but I cant get it to work right-it will tell me my files are not sorted  join -j 1 -o 1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,2.2,2.3 &lt;(sort -k1 file1) &lt;(sort -k1 file2)   Preferably I would prefer an awk command. File 1 will be very large. I have tried   awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1]=$2 FS $3;next}{ print $0, a[$1]}' file2 file1 &gt; output   Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks  Sorry I cant comment below but just to clarify file not all rows in column1 in file 1 will be in file2.  The awk command  awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1]=$2 FS $3;next} $1 in a {print $0, a[$1]}'    will only keep the amount of rows there is in file 2. But ideally what I want is were for expample ARS-BFGL-10975 is repeated twice (realistically way more) to appear twice in my output.  Thanks for the help so far Why did the TIE fighter in The Force Awakens have life support? Suppose we have $x^2+4x+3=0$  We differentiate both sides to get $2x+4=0$.  So $x=-2$  But $(-2)^2+4(-2)+3=0$   $4-8+3=-1$ is not equal to $0$.  Which tells that we cannot differentiate equalities. But in many proofs, like in integral calculus, differentiating both sides occurs. So, where is the fallacy? $k^{\phi(l)} + l^{\phi(k)} \equiv1\pmod{lk}\,$ if $\,\gcd(l,k)=1$ I would like to prove the following equality: $$k^{\phi(l)} + l^{\phi(k)} \equiv1\pmod{lk}$$if $\gcd(l,k)=1$. What methods can I use? Thank you for your help. How do I recover lost/inaccessible data from my storage device? I want to  GRANT SELECT     ON ALL TABLES     TO foo;   But postgres tells me I have a syntax error at "TO". It expects a GRANT like:  GRANT SELECT     ON ALL TABLES     IN SCHEMA public     TO foo;   We have a handful of tables that have been sharded such that public, shard123, and shard124 all have a table my_table, and public.my_table is the parent of both shard123.my_table and shard124.my_table. I've GRANTed SELECT to foo for public schema, but foo doesn't have permission for any of the shard schemas.  I've also done:  ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES     FOR ROLE dba     GRANT SELECT     ON TABLES     TO foo;   ...which should automatically grant for any new tables and schemas made from now on.  There are 1000 &lt; n &lt; 10000 shards/schemas, so GRANTing separately for each shard/schema is impractical.  How can I GRANT to a role for all existing tables across all existing schemas (all shards)?  Or even better, can I GRANT for all schemas LIKE 'shard%'? Let $a$ and $b$ be natural numbers with $ab&gt;2$. Suppose that the sum of their highest common factor and least common multiple is divisible by $a+b$. Prove that the quotient is at most $\frac{a+b}4$. When is this quotient exactly equal to $\frac{a+b}4$.
