Multivariate random-effects meta-analysis
Abstract.
Multivariate meta-analysis combines estimates of several related parameters
over several studies. These parameters can, for example, refer to multiple
outcomes or comparisons between more than two groups. A new Stata command,
mvmeta, performs maximum likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood,
or method-of-moments estimation of random-effects multivariate meta-analysis
models. A utility command, mvmeta_make, facilitates the preparation
of summary datasets from more detailed data. The commands are illustrated
with data from the Fibrinogen Studies Collaboration, a meta-analysis of
observational studies; I estimate the shape of the association between a
quantitative exposure and disease events by grouping the quantitative
exposure into several categories.
