Abstract. In this article, we demonstrate how to fit fixed- and random-effects
meta-analysis, meta-regression, and multivariate outcome meta-analysis
models under the structural equation modeling framework using the
sem and gsem commands. While all of these models can be fit
using existing user-written commands, formulating the
models in the structural equation modeling framework provides deeper
insight into how they work. Further, the heterogeneity test for
meta-regression and multivariate meta-analysis is readily available from
this output.
