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.


"CMA is a very useful and friendly software that has being used both as an auxiliary tool for my papers preparation, and as the program elected for the analysis that I usually do with my students in order to train them in this field of meta‐analysis. In brief, this is a very well‐conceived statistical analysis software, useful for trainees in statistical analysis as well as for senior researchers."

"I've been using Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) for about five years now and have found it to be the most user‐friendly program for conducting meta‐analyses. CMA allows researchers to conduct meta‐analyses on a wide array of data sets. Further, CMA includes an array of some of the most sophisticated publication bias analyses, allowing researchers to examine an issue that is too often overlooked in meta‐analysis. I would highly recommend CMA to any researcher conducting metaanalyses."
