METASTATS is an organized suite of approximately 150 programs designed for meta-analysis, power, effect sizes and their confidence intervals, significance test conversions, and other general statistics. This freeware works either on the HP49G calculator or preinstalled on a PC emulator under Windows. Many of the programs address gaps in commercially available software. The suite has a user-friendly interface: the screen prompts for input, and labels all output. Extensive documentation includes step-by-step examples, a fully annotated catalogue of the programs, and academic references for the formulas. Both versions of the programs (calculator and PC), documentation, and installation instructions are freely available from the author's Web site, http://www.netaxs.com/-efoster/.
METASTATS是一套约150个程序的组合,专为荟萃分析、功效、效应量及其置信区间、显著性检验转换以及其他常规统计而设计。这个免费软件可以在惠普49G计算器上运行,也可以预先安装在Windows下的PC模拟器上。许多程序弥补了商业软件存在的不足。该软件包具有用户友好的界面:屏幕会提示输入内容,并对所有输出进行标注。详尽的文档包括逐步示例、程序的完整注释目录以及公式的学术参考文献。程序的两个版本(计算器版和PC版)、文档以及安装说明均可从作者的网站http://www.netaxs.com/-efoster/免费获取。
