Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

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 am an advanced graduate student in clinical psychology, and CMA software was integrated into a meta‐analysis course I recently took. I feel very fortunate to have been trained in meta‐analyses at a time when we have this software because CMA is easy and, I dare say, fun to use. Rather than spending countless hours computing my own effect sizes and creating syntax, the program did it for me, which allowed me to spend my time really looking at the data, both graphically and numerically. I bought CMA for myself and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn the art of meta‐analysis."

"I've been using different versions of the comprehensive meta‐analysis software over many years for my research. Each version improved significantly, added new and important features, and made the visual outcomes easier to comprehend and present. One such improvement, for example, was the addition of moderater analysis for both categorical and continuous variables. It provides an easily understood menu that guides the user toward a correct statistical analysis. I also find the manual very useful and supportive, recommend it to my graduate students to use it for self‐teaching learning."
