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!

How to calculate Standard Error of Odds Ratios? http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/10375/how-to-calculate-standard-error-of-odds-ratios
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.
