MIDAS: Stata module for meta-analytical integration of diagnostic test accuracy studies

Ben Dwamena

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: MIDAS provides a comprehensive suite of commands for bivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies. It implements five estimation methods (MLE, QRSIM, Bayesian MH, HMC/NUTS via CmdStan, INLA via R-INLA), extensive graphical output (forest plots, SROC curves, Fagan nomograms, likelihood ratio matrices, conditional probability plots), heterogeneity investigation (subgroup analysis, meta-regression), quality assessment (QUADAS/QUADAS-2), clinical utility analysis (HSRUC), and data conversion utilities.

Requires: Stata version 17, xsvmat from SSC (q.v.)
Keywords: meta-analysis; meta-regression; roc curve; mixed models; diagnosis; sensitivity and specificity; Bayes' nomogram; bivariate analysis; publication bias; predictive values; likelihood ratios; heterogeneity; forest plot (search for similar items in EconPapers)
Date: 2007-10-14, Revised 2026-04-02
