Dear all,

I use R 3.0 for Windows.

I performed a meta-analysis of the prevalence (single proportion)
reported in 14 different studyes using the command:

res<-metaprop(case,n,sm="PFT", comb.fixed=FALSE, comb.random=TRUE,
studlab<- paste(Study))

Using which package?


print(res)

A referee ask a brief explanation of the W-statistic reported in the
results, in particular, why the summ of the individual weights of all
the studies is 100%.

What did you expect the weights to sum to, I wonder.

Any suggestion is welcome.
