This package includes the mvmeta_make command which prepares data for mvmeta.

What's new in version 4

mvmeta_make:

• a prefix syntax makes the command work with complex Stata commands such as mixed and mi estimate
• the classic (former) syntax is still available
• I've made a number of minor improvements

mvmeta:

• bscov(exch) estimates a common between-studies correlation.
• bubble option (was previously undocumented)
• I've made a number of minor bug fixes
