random_OR

The odds of the event of interest for Group A.  A probability
ranging from zero to one.

The odds of the event of interest for Group B.  A probability
ranging from zero to one.

Odds ratios with zero events cannot be computed.  Following,
Cox (1970), a continuity correction can be added to each cell of the 2 by 2
table to help improve this problem of zero events within the table.  The
default value added is 0.5.

continuity

When <code>"FALSE"</code>, returns non-logged transformed
   odds ratios and appropriate variances.  Default is TRUE.

logged

Generates random odds ratios, logged odds ratios, and their
variances (Cornfield 1951).

Functionalities for facilitating systematic reviews, data extractions, and meta-analyses.  It includes a GUI (graphical user interface) to help screen the abstracts and titles of bibliographic data; tools to assign screening effort across multiple collaborators/reviewers and to assess inter-reviewer reliability; tools to help automate the download and retrieval of journal PDF articles from online databases; automated data extractions from scatter-plots; PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow diagrams; simple imputation tools to fill gaps in incomplete or missing study parameters; generation of random effects sizes for Hedges' d, log response ratio, odds ratio, and correlation coefficients for Monte Carlo experiments; covariance equations for modelling dependencies among multiple effect sizes (e.g., effect sizes with a common control); and finally summaries that replicate analyses and outputs from widely used but no longer updated meta-analysis software.  Funding for this package was supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants DBI-1262545 and DEB-1451031.
