-glst- can be located via -findit glst-, you should add. How do the results
differ? Mine are constant across ten repetitions...

Betreff: st: Variable estimates from GLST metaregression of observational
studies

Dear Nicola and Statalisters,

I am getting different estimates each time I run a glst command on the same
dataset in Stata and would be glad of suggestions of how to resolve the
problem.

The glst command is used here to estimate the dose-dependency of effect in
observational or relative risk data. 

The command and syntax, and extract from a dataset in use are shown below.

I am using Stata v9.2, an up-to-date version of glst and the log data
(ln_rr_m  and corresponding errors se_glst) were obtained with gen double.

I would very much appreciate help with this crucial problem.

With thanks, 
Geoff. Livesey
