META ES CONTINUOUS

META ES CONTINUOUS is available in the Statistics Base Edition. The syntax represents the meta-analysis procedure for continuous outcomes when the pre-calculated effect size data are provided in the active data set.

**Default if the subcommand is omitted.

This command reads the active dataset and causes execution of any pending commands. See the topic Command Order for more information.

Syntax for the META ES CONTINUOUS command can be generated from the Meta Analysis Continuous Effect Size dialog.
