MetaUtility (version 2.1.2)

Utility Functions for Conducting and Interpreting Meta-Analyses

Description

Contains functions to estimate the proportion of effects stronger than a threshold of scientific importance (function prop_stronger), to nonparametrically characterize the distribution of effects in a meta-analysis (calib_ests, pct_pval), to make effect size conversions (r_to_d, r_to_z, z_to_r, d_to_logRR), to compute and format inference in a meta-analysis (format_CI, format_stat, tau_CI), to scrape results from existing meta-analyses for re-analysis (scrape_meta, parse_CI_string, ci_to_var).
