Abstract. This article describes the new meta-analysis command metaan, which
can be used to perform fixed- or random-effects meta-analysis. Besides the standard
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 measures,
including Cochran’s Q, I2, H2M, and the between-studies variance estimate
τ-hat2. A forest plot and a graph of the maximum likelihood function can also be
generated.
