se.oddsratio

Computes a log odds ratio and its standard error using
the frequency counts and sample sizes in a 2-group design. These
frequency counts and sample sizes can be obtained from a 2x2
contingency table. The log odd ratio and its standard error are computed
using a .5 addition to each frequency count of the 2x2 contingency table.
This function is useful in a meta-analysis of odds ratios where some studies
report the sample odds ratio and its standard error and other studies
only report the frequency counts for a 2x2 contingency table. The log odds
ratio and standard error output from this function can be used as input in
the meta.ave.gen.log function.

Implements functions for varying coefficient meta-analysis methods.
These methods do not assume effect size homogeneity. Subgroup effect size
comparisons, general linear effect size contrasts, and linear models of
effect sizes based on varying coefficient methods can be used to describe
effect size heterogeneity. Varying coefficient meta-analysis methods do not
require the unrealistic assumptions of the traditional fixed-effect and
random-effects meta-analysis methods. For details see:
