Abstract

The talk describes recent updates for midas, a comprehensive and medically popular program for diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis. A major change is that midas is now an estimation command and a wrapper for meglm of Stata 13 . The update allows more flexibility for specifying covariance structures, link functions other than logit, more extensive post-estimation options and specification of starting values especially with sparse data; and the possibility of estimating univariate (independent) versus bivariate (correlated) modeling of sensitivity and specificity
