MASS v7 – Meta-Analysis of Score Statistics

MASS v7

:: DESCRIPTION

The software MASS performs meta-analysis by combining the score statistics from K independent studies.The two approaches are asymptotically equivalent; however, the latter approach is numerically more stable and statistically more accurate, especially for discrete outcomes and unbalanced data (e.g., rare variants in case-control studies) (Lin and Tang, 2011). Another unique feature of MASS is its ability to perform multivariate meta-analysis.
