论文摘要
最初提出了稳定方差的Freeman-Tukey双弧形变换，以推断单个比例。随后，在比例荟萃分析的背景下提出了其使用。尽管以前已经观察到了一些不稳定的行为，但我们在这里指出并说明了单调性和可逆性的一般问题，这使得这种转换不适合荟萃分析。
The variance-stabilizing Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transform was originally proposed for inference on single proportions. Subsequently, its use has been suggested in the context of meta-analysis of proportions. While some erratic behaviour has been observed previously, here we point out and illustrate general issues of monotonicity and invertibility that make this transform unsuitable for meta-analysis purposes.
