metaplus (version 1.0-8)

Robust Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression

Description

Performs meta-analysis and meta-regression using standard and robust methods with confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood. Robust methods are based on alternative distributions for the random effect, either the t-distribution (Lee and Thompson, 2008 or Baker and Jackson, 2008 ) or mixtures of normals (Beath, 2014 ).
