If it is pooling and then analysing data from different projects as a collective, it's as old as you like. Presumably it doesn't depend on whether the authors used that term. Concretely, find a copy of F. Yates and W. G. Cochran. 1938. The analysis of groups of experiments. The Journal of Agricultural Science 28: 556-580. doi:10.1017/S0021859600050978. and see if it matches your criterion. Then look for older work or newer work that does. (The paper is reprinted variously, e.g. in collections of either author's papers.) | |
