Teleoanalysis quibble?

Is it teleoanalysis or teleanalysis?
My OED says "teleo- and before a vowel tele-, as in teleology" of which
many a medical student was brought up on.

Teleoanalysis of "studies that have have not been done" is a bit
suggestive of telepathy. All jokes aside, congratulations on a
magnificent paper. I prefer teleoanalysis though.
