Publication bias - the FAT-PET model
In 2001, Stanley published a paper in the Journal of Economic Perspectives that presented a new way of identifying the existence of publication selection bias and the existence of a genuine empirical effect. Known as the MST, or meta-significance testing, Stanley subsequently abandoned this model in favor of the FAT-PET model. The acronym stands for Funnel Asymmetry- Precision Effect test. The FAT-PET tests for asymmetry in funnel plots and builds upon the Egger test. In a series of papers, Stanley shows that the FAT-PET provides a measure of the underlying empirical effect corrected for the effects of publication selection bias.

Subsequent refinements have led to the PEESE model, or the XXXXX.
