RE: very high z value
Hello!

I too am facing the same problem except my t-values are in the range of 30. While most of the studies in my meta-analysis report a t values of range 1 to 5.
Do you think these studies have incorrectly labled t-values as z-values
If not, would these variations not create a bias?

Thanks

However, I would be very cautious with such extremely high t-values. Are the values reported in the study really z-values? I strongly suggest to check it, as they could be t-values incorrectly labeled as z-values.
