Data, theory, and meta-analysis: Response to Hoyle.

Responds to R. H. Hoyle's (see record 1994-08178-001) comments on F. L. Schmidt's (see record 1993-04195-001) distinction between meta-analysis and single-study data on the practice of science in psychology. Schmidt asserts that when using meta-analysis methods, rather than single-study data, sampling error that causes effect size estimates to vary can be overcome.
