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))
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%.
Any suggestion is welcome.
