| Description | Journal: Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods The present article discusses the statistical distribution for the estimator of Rosenthal's 'file-drawer' number $N_{R}$, which is an estimator of unpublished studies in meta-analysis. We calculate the probability distribution function of $N_{R}$. This is achieved based on the central limit theorem and the proposition that certain components of the estimator $N_{R}$ follow a half-normal distribution, derived from the standard normal distribution. Our proposed distributions are supported by simulations and investigation of convergence. |
