Dear all,

I would like to run the basic command for the meta-analysis as follow:

plink --meta-analysis study1.assoc study2.assoc

PLINK will search the header row for the columns:

  • SNP SNP idenitifier
  • OR Odds ratio (or BETA, etc)
  • SE Standard error of OR (or user-defined weight field)
  • P (Optional) p-value from test

My problem is that file 2 (study2.assoc) does not contain SE (standard error) numbers. File study2.assoc contains three columns named SNP, OR and P. Is there a way to calculate the SE based on these three columns? The three columns is the only information that I have.

I hope that someone can help me with this problem!

Specify the --ci 0.95 command to your --linear or --assoc or --logistic tests, then you'll get SE column along with 95% confidence intervals.
