Learn R Programming

⚠️There's a newer version (1.5.0) of this package.Take me there.

The metaSEM package conducts univariate and multivariate meta-analyses using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach via the OpenMx package. It also implements the two-stage SEM approach to conduct meta-analytic structural equation modeling on correlation/covariance matrices.

The stable version can be installed from CRAN by:

install.packages("metaSEM")

The developmental version can be installed from GitHub by:

## Install devtools package if it has not been installed yet
# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("mikewlcheung/metasem")
