Meta-Analysis Package for R
Description
The metafor package provides a comprehensive collection of
functions for conducting meta-analyses in R. The package
includes functions to calculate various effect size or outcome
measures, fit fixed-, random-, and mixed-effects models to such
data, carry out moderator and meta-regression analyses, and
create various types of meta-analytical plots (e.g., forest,
funnel, radial, and L'Abbe plots). For meta-analyses of 2x2
tables, proportions, incidence rates, and incidence rate
ratios, the package also provides functions that implement
specialized methods, including the Mantel-Haenszel method,
Peto's method, and a variety of suitable generalized linear
(mixed-effects) models (i.e., mixed-effects (conditional)
logistic and Poisson regression models).
