Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

software image

Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) is a powerful computer program for meta-analysis. The program combines ease of use with a wide array of computational options and sophisticated graphics.


"I've used CMA for years now as a researcher and teacher. It is uncommon to see a program that is so full‐featured yet easy enough to use that you can pick it up in an afternoon. The calculations are spoton and the images are sharp enough for use in publication. I recommend the software to all of my students and colleagues who are performing meta‐analysis."

David Walton PT, PhD - Assistant Professor, The University of Western Ontario


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is, literally speaking, the most comprehensive and user friendly metaanalysis “package” program. It excellently accommodates both advanced and beginning users’ needs at the same time and different levels of needs over time. Among numerous laudable features, this package program provides the most comprehensive and advanced solution for testing publication bias. Using Excel‐like interfaces, moderator analyses are very easy to do! It would be a great loss for any competent researcher and practitioner to overlook this impressive package program."
