MIDAS: Meta-Analytical Integration of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies

About the book

Synopsis

The definitive companion to the MIDAS suite for Stata. MIDAS: Meta-Analytical Integration of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies — Theory, Methods, and Software sets out the statistical foundations of diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis — bivariate and hierarchical models, summary ROC analysis, publication-bias assessment, and individual-patient-data methods — and shows them at work on real data.

It is at once a textbook, a reference, and a user’s guide, written for evidence synthesists who need both the mathematics and the means to apply it.
