Workshop Overview: The goal of this workshop is to serve as an introduction to the use of meta-analysis to combine summary data. Specifically, we will cover the different assumptions required and types of analyses one can use when trying to synthesize information from different sources. We will begin by considering the case of estimating a mean for single characteristic from different studies. We will discuss different estimators and diagnostic plots that can be used estimate quantities of interest and to assess the assumptions necessary for proper inference.

Disposer du corps mort d’autrui. Après sa mort, la volonté d’une personne prime au sujet de la disposition de son corps. Toutefois, à défaut de volontés exprimées par la personne décédée, le droit civil québécois s’en remet à des substituts qui revêtent un masque momiforme afin de décider pour elle. Ceux-ci reprennent le flambeau de la personne décédée pour traverser les catacombes des décisions corporelles. Ces substituts décident alors du mode et du lieu de disposition du corps
