Software Programs for Meta-Analysis

 

   Confidence Intervals

Confidence Intervals for the Random Effects Variance Component (REVC)

  Graph

Produces graphs for meta analysis.  Boxplot, stem-leaf, Dot plot (error bar), and funnel plots.

  Graph2

Produces data for quantile/quantile plots to compare effect sizes to the normal distribution.  It writes data, you supply effect sizes and the graphics program.

  Judges

Calculates mean squares used in computing intraclass correlations (ICC(2) and ICC(3)) for reliability among judges.
