OUTFILE Subcommand (META BINARY command)

The META BINARY command calls the meta-analysis procedure for binary outcomes when the raw data are provided in the active dataset for the estimation of the effect size. The optional OUTFILE controls the cumulative statistics to be saved in an external data file or a dataset. The process is available when /ANALYZE CUMULATIVE is specified, and is otherwise ignored. When the subcommand is specified, at least one of the following keywords must be specified.

Note: An optional user-supplied name can be assigned by specifying (var_name) following the keyword. When (var_name) is omitted, a default variable name is assigned.

CUMSTATS: When /OUTFILE is specified, this required keyword specifies the external file or dataset name.
CUMES: The optional keyword saves the estimated cumulative effect size.
CUMES_EXP: The optional keyword saves the estimated cumulative effect size in the exponential form. The process is available when /DATA ESTYPE = LOGOR, LOGPETO, or LOGRR, and is otherwise ignored.
SE_CUMES: The optional keyword saves the estimated standard error of CUMES.
CIL_CUMES: The optional keyword saves the estimated confidence interval lower limit of CUMES.
CIL_CUMES_EXP: The optional keyword saves the estimated confidence interval lower limit of CUMES in the exponential form. The process is available when /DATA ESTYPE = LOGOR, LOGPETO, or LOGRR, and is otherwise ignored.
CIU_CUMES: The optional keyword saves the estimated confidence interval upper limit of CUMES.
CIU_CUMES_EXP: The optional keyword saves the estimated confidence interval upper limit of CUMES in the exponential form. The process is available when /DATA ESTYPE = LOGOR, LOGPETO, or LOGRR, and is otherwise ignored.
PVAL_CUMES: The optional keyword saves the estimated p-value of CUMES.
