Statistic Result Parameter | Overall Range | Explanation |
---|---|---|
RR (risk ratio or effect size) | 0–unlimited | It quantifies the magnitude of an effect or relation. For the same engine, it is numerically equal to the (percentage) level of a studied output referred to an engine fueled with petrol fuel. For example:
|
I2 (I-squared) | 0–100% | It quantifies the degree of inconsistency/heterogeneity/variability of results among the many considered studies, guiding the interpretation and generalizability of findings. The I2 is scaled as follows:
|
Q (Cochrane parameter) | no lower or upper limits | It is used to assess the presence of heterogeneity among the effect sizes of individual studies included in the meta-analysis. It complements other measures, such as the I-squared, in quantifying and understanding the variability across studies.
|
Y (output variation) | no lower or upper limits | Variation of an output in a regression equation. The mathematical relation of this parameter with RR is Y = 1 − RR. |
