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.


"My colleagues and I thought that the software is really easy to use. My students were also very satisfied. The task of calculating effect sizes was easy to understand, even for people without advanced knowledge in statistics. The program has numerous options for data entry, calculation of effect sizes, and tests for heterogeneity and publication bias, and facilitates the presentation to a comprehensive meta‐analytic project. Technical and other support from the company was available immediately."

"CMA is an incredible software package for the novice and experienced researcher alike. It offers a sophisticated array of analytical techniques, yet retains the flexibility to adapt to your specific application. The interface is intuitive and user‐friendly, and frees the user to focus on the analysis rather than the software. I use CMA in my graduate biostatistics course and recommend it to all of my faculty colleagues as well. The software is a joy to use!"
