st: 'combine': new SSC module

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new module is available in the SSC archives.
'combine' is meant to be used by analysts performing meta-analysis whereupon it is
sometimes necessary to combine size (n) , mean, and SD from two groups (for example,
two intervention groups). The Cochrane Collaboration provides a formula for this
calculation in its handbook, but it is cumbersome to perform using a calculator, or by
hand. combine allows this calculation to be done quickly.
To install, type:
ssc install combine
Please send feedback by email or on Statalist.
Have a great weekend,
Phil
