{title:Description}

|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The {cmd:meta_dialog} package provides Stata 8 dialog boxes ({cmd:.dlg} files)
|
|
and the commands needed to create a {hi:Meta-Analysis} submenu that contains
|
|
the publicly available meta-analysis commands. The 14 commands included
|
|
in this package that may be placed on the menu are {cmd:meta}, {cmd:metan},
|
|
{cmd:metap}, {cmd:metareg}, {cmd:metacum}, {cmd:funnel}, {cmd:metafunnel},
|
|
{cmd:labbe}, {cmd:metannt}, {cmd:metaninf}, {cmd:metainf}, {cmd:galbr},
|
|
{cmd:metabias}, and {cmd:metatrim}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The menu commands (shown below) are placed in your personal Stata
|
|
{cmd:profile.do} file. They create the submenu on the
|
|
StataCorp-defined {hi:User} menu.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
You can determine if you have defined a {cmd:profile.do} file by starting
|
|
Stata and observing whether a line of the form
|
|
|
|
{p 8}{result:running C:\data\stata\profile.do} ...
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
appears on the screen as part of the initiation sequence. If it does,
|
|
add the commands below to that file and resave the file. If the
|
|
line does not appear, you have not defined a profile. Create a
|
|
plain text file containing the commands below, name it {cmd:profile.do}, and
|
|
save it somewhere in the Stata path.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
You may choose not to create the menu and run the dialogs directly
|
|
from the Stata 8 command line via the {cmd:db {it:name}} command. If so,

|
|
Dialogs are available only in Stata 8 or later; thus, the leading
|
|
{cmd:if _caller() >= 8 {c -(}} and trailing {cmd:{c )-}} lines above are
|
|
needed only if you also run Stata 7. Leaving these lines in will not cause
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The easiest way to capture these commands is to open this help file in your
|
|
text editor, copy the lines, and then paste them into {cmd:profile.do}.
