# ipdmetan
Current release: v4.03 12oct2022

A set of routines for conducting two-stage individual participant meta-analysis, and forest plots for trial subgroup analysis. The two-stage routine, `ipdmetan`, loops over a series of categories, fits the desired model to the data within each, and generates pooled effects, heterogeneity statistics etc, as appropriate; aggregate data may also be included from an external dataset. `ipdover` extends the use-case beyond the meta-analytic context, for example for creating a forest plot of a series of (potentially overlapping) subgroups within a single randomized trial. This package is dependent upon the `metan` package; please ensure that the latest version of the `metan` package is installed.

# Installation

We currently recommend installation via the Stata Statistical Software Components (SSC) archive.
To see a package description, including contents, type within Stata:

. ssc describe ipdmetan

...and to perform the installation, type:

. ssc install ipdmetan

Package updates via SSC are handled using the `ado update` command; see the built-in Stata documentation.

Alternatively, the package may be installed directly from GitHub, by typing:
