The META ES BINARY command calls the meta-analysis procedure for binary outcomes when the pre-calculated effect size data are provided in the active data set. The required DATA subcommand specifies the meta-analysis data.
- ES
- The required keyword specifies the variable to denote the effect size. The value must be a single numeric variable.
- ESTYPE
- The required keyword specifies the ES type.
- LOGOR
- The default type that estimates the log odds ratio.
- LOGPETO
- Estimates the Peto’s log odds ratio.
- LOGRR
- Estimates the log risk ratio.
- RD
- Estimates the risk difference.
- VAR
- The required keyword specifies the variable to denote the ES variance. The value must be a single numeric variable. The keyword cannot be specified together with SE.
- SE
- The required keyword specifies the variable to denote the ES standard error. The value must be a single numeric variable. The keyword cannot be specified together with VAR.
- ID
- The optional keyword specifies the study ID (usually a numeric variable). The variable that is specified for this parameter cannot be the same as the variable that is specified for STUDY.
- STUDY
- The optional keyword specifies the study name (usually a string variable). Either STUDY, or ID, or both must be specified to identify each primary study. The variable that is specified for this parameter cannot be the same as the variable that is specified for ID.
