Description
@jdkent and I were working on a data exercise comparing mega- and meta-analysis for the ABCD-ReproNim course, and I was thinking that the general approach of taking a multi-site dataset, running a random intercepts model taking site into account, and comparing that to a "meta-analysis" where each site is treated as its own study would be a good addition to the PyMARE documentation.
Here is a basic attempt at this: https://github.com/tsalo/misc-notebooks/blob/master/run_mega_and_meta.ipynb

Research direction
Start with the linked run_mega_and_meta.ipynb example and inspect the PyMARE documentation structure to find the appropriate place for a worked example. The example should compare a multi-site random-intercepts analysis with a meta-analysis treating each site as its own study, using the ABCD-ReproNim exercise as context.
