Dear statalisters,
(Roger will probably reply to this message - I hope).
Well, I was wondering if there is a straighforward way to output (or save)
the results of the old metareg (Sharp�s metareg) (sbe 23), beucase I am
unable to get either scalars or macros using the return/ereturn commands.
In this respect, how could one obtain the I^2 using an empirical Bayes
estimate of the between-study variance (tau^2) provided by Sharp�s
metareg?
In relation to the new -metareg- (Harbor-Steichen�s metareg), it would be
so nice if we (non-statisticians, medical researchers) could obtain the ml
and empirical Bayes estimates of tau^2, since recent evidence have shown
that these estimates yield more accurate results than either moment or
reml methods, especially for scenarios typical of meta-analyses in
medicine. Hence, their impplementation would be important.
Thx for any help.
Best regards,
Tiago
