metaprop: error on using cimethod(exact)

[sandeep kaur]

Hi,
I have been getting error as below on using cimethod(exact). But with cimethod(score) there is no such error. How do I resolve this issue? Are these methods replaceable?

metaprop rall30 TotalSize, random by(author) cimethod (exact)
variable ul already defined
r(110);

Thanks

The method only pertains to how confidence intervals are calculated for the individual studies and does not affect the overall (pooled) estimate. It's immaterial which one you choose. My preference is to use Wilson's score method but others may prefer the binomial exact method.

Thanks for your response.
