A generalized formula for converting chi-square tests to effect sizes for meta-analysis
Abstract
The common formula used for converting a chi-square test into a correlation coefficient for use as an effect size in meta-analysis has a hidden assumption which may be violated in specific instances, leading to an overestimation of the effect size. A corrected formula is provided.
