Abstract：The Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) is a research method that comprehensive evaluates the accuracy of diagnostic test evidence. The metamisc package and CopulaREMADA package in R software are used for implementing Meta-analysis and graphic plotting of DTA based on classic frequency study approach. Compared with traditional bivariate model, the analysis models established by these two packages can reduce intergroup difference and simplify the tedious iterative operation process, which make DTA evaluation indicator more accurate and efficient.
