I have a simple program that extracts results from Paul Seed's
-diagti- program and shoves them through -meta- or -metan- (as needed).
The statistics meta-analyzed are:
1) Likelihood of a Positive Test,
2) Likelihood of a Negative Test,
3) Sensitivity, and
4) Specificity.
If this might be of interest to you, Jannik, I can send it your way.
