Abstract

This article describes the new meta-analysis command metaan, which can be used to perform fixed- or random-effects meta-analysis. Besides the stan- dard DerSimonian and Laird approach, metaan offers a wide choice of available models: maximum likelihood, profile likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, and a permutation model. The command reports a variety of heterogeneity mea- sures, including Cochran’s Q, I2, HM2 , and the between-studies variance estimate τb2. A forest plot and a graph of the maximum likelihood function can also be generated.
