.DerSimonianLaird
- class DerSimonianLaird(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Bases:
nimare.base.MetaEstimator
DerSimonian-Laird meta-regression estimator.
Changed in version 0.0.8:
[FIX] Remove single-dimensional entries of each array of returns (
dict
).
New in version 0.0.4.
Estimates the between-subject variance tau^2 using the DerSimonian-Laird (1986) method-of-moments approach.
Notes
Requires

andvarcope
images.Warning
Masking approaches which average across voxels (e.g., NiftiLabelsMaskers) will likely result in biased results. The extent of this bias is currently unknown.
All image-based meta-analysis estimators adopt an aggressive masking strategy, in which any voxels with a value of zero in any of the input maps will be removed from the analysis.

- fit(dataset, drop_invalid=True)[source]
Fit Estimator to Dataset.
- Parameters
- Returns
Results of Estimator fitting.
- Return type
- Variables
~Estimator.fit.inputs_ (
dict
) – Inputs used in _fit.
- classmethod load(filename, compressed=True)[source]
Load a pickled class instance from file.
- Parameters

class object
- set_params(**params)[source]
Set the parameters of this estimator.
The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The latter have parameters of the form
<component>__<parameter>
so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.- Return type
