Alcohol

Stochastic Search Inconsistency Factor Selection for the evaluation of the consistency
assumption for the network meta-analysis model.
These data are used as an example in Seitidis et al. (2021).

Evaluating the consistency assumption of Network Meta-Analysis both globally and locally in the Bayesian framework. Inconsistencies are located by applying Bayesian variable selection to the inconsistency factors. The implementation of the method is described by Seitidis et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9891>.
