Hi,
I would like to conduct between group heterogeneity test (Z-test) in subgroup analysis. Unlike fixed effect model, the results of subgroup analysis for random effects do not show the heterogeneity test. Does anyone know if we have another command to get the results of the heterogeneity test? I use STAT/IC 14.2.
I use the following command:
metan ES SE, random by(group)
ES= effect size
SE = standard error
group = variable to be examined for subgroup analysis (e.g., age group, study design)
Thank you,
Aya Yoshikawa
