You do not give us very much to go on here. When you say your outcome
is proportions do you mean your outcome has more than two values and
you are generating (or have been provided with) several proportions
for each study or do you mean it is a binary variable? If the latter
do you in fact have the numerators and denominators or just the
proportion? It would also help if you showed us the code you have
tried and the error message you got (if any) or told us the
discrepancy between the output you obtained and that which you expected.
