TBdat

A dataset containing the results from 13 trials examining the efficacy
of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine against tuberculosis (TB).

datasets

Performs network meta-analysis using integrated nested Laplace approximations ('INLA')
which is described in Guenhan, Held, and Friede (2018) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1285>.
Includes methods to assess the heterogeneity and inconsistency in the network.
Contains more than ten different network meta-analysis dataset.
'INLA' package can be obtained from <https://www.r-inla.org>.
