A meta-analysis of 213 applications of diffusion models from 15 articles relates model parameters to the nature of the innovation, the country under study, model specification, and estimation procedure.

A Bayesian scheme is used to combine results from the meta-analysis with new data for estimation of parameters in a new situation.
