Table 1.

Table comparing the type I error of the joint score test statistic, U _ψ with tissue-by-tissue (TBT) analysis, MetaTissue (MT) model (FE = Fixed Effects model; RE = Random Effects model) and multivariate Bayesian Model Averaging. Note that all the results are based on 5,000 simulations on 100 observations at a nominal level of α=0.05
