Hi there, I understand you need an experienced biostatistician to perform a diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis and produce publication-quality forest plots, SROC/HSROC figures, and pooled diagnostic accuracy estimates for your postgraduate thesis. I am confident I can deliver statistically rigorous analyses that align with current reporting standards. My approach will be to first validate the extracted 2×2 data and subgroup allocation, then perform the analysis using a bivariate random-effects/HSROC model in R (mada, meta, metafor, diagmeta) or Stata if preferred. I will generate coupled sensitivity and specificity forest plots, SROC/HSROC curves with confidence and prediction regions, pooled sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratios, and heterogeneity measures. All figures will be publication-ready, and I will provide fully commented code, reproducible outputs, and a concise technical summary of the methodology, assumptions, exclusions, and findings. The deliverable will include high-resolution figures, summary tables, study inclusion lists, reproducible statistical code, and complete documentation suitable for thesis submission and future publication. Have the included studies already undergone quality assessment (e.g., QUADAS-2), or would you like that incorporated into the analysis and reporting? I'm ready to start immediately. Warm Regards, Aneesa.

Hello, I got that you are looking for a diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis of 36 eligible studies, with correct cell/parasite versus patient/slide grouping, bivariate random-effects or HSROC modelling, and publication-quality forest and SROC figures. This is what I can help you with, let's chat. My approach is to use R with mada/metafor and, where appropriate, lme4 or brms to validate the supplied 2×2 data, fit the appropriate hierarchical model, and separately analyze each unit-of-analysis subgroup. I’ll generate coupled sensitivity/specificity forest plots and SROC/HSROC figures showing study estimates, pooled operating points, 95% confidence regions, and prediction regions. The key challenge is correctly modelling between-study dependence and heterogeneity, so I’ll report pooled sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratios, and relevant heterogeneity measures with assumptions and exclusions clearly documented. As final deliverables you will receive publication-ready high-resolution figures, pooled diagnostic accuracy summary tables, study inclusion lists by subgroup, complete reproducible R code, and a concise technical explanation of the model, assumptions, exclusions, and findings. All supplied data will remain confidential. One thing I'd like to confirm before we start: do you have a preferred software/package requirement from your supervisor? Lets chat and discuss further!

Hello I have gone through your specific requirement for diagnostic accuracy meta analysis. I have built something close to this for a biomedical research team with 115 study records. I would use the mada package over meta because HSROC and bivariate models are supported directly. I will produce publication quality figures in R using mada and ggplot2, assuming the extracted data are complete. But I will check subgroup definitions before fitting the models because that changes pooled estimates. Sample figures I can share privately. Have inclusion and exclusion decisions already been locked? I want to get clear on subgroup definitions first. Dev Singh

Dear Client, I am an experienced biostatistician with expertise in diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) meta-analysis and systematic reviews. I have worked with bivariate random-effects and HSROC models to analyze sensitivity and specificity data and produce publication-quality figures for academic research. For your project, I will: * Review and verify the extracted diagnostic data. * Perform the DTA meta-analysis using an appropriate bivariate random-effects or HSROC model. * Generate publication-quality forest plots for sensitivity and specificity. * Produce SROC/HSROC plots with confidence and prediction regions. * Provide pooled sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratios, and heterogeneity statistics. * Deliver high-resolution figures, a summary table of results, a list of included studies, complete reproducible statistical code (R or Stata), and a brief technical report describing the methods and findings. I primarily use **R** (packages such as **mada**, **meta**, **metafor**, and **diagmeta**) and can also work with Stata if preferred. I understand that this work is for a postgraduate thesis, and I will ensure that all analyses are reproducible, publication-ready, and handled with strict confidentiality. I would be happy to discuss your requirements and timeline and can begin as soon as the dataset is available. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to working with you. Best regards,
