In ConfoundedMeta: Sensitivity Analyses for Unmeasured Confounding in Meta-Analyses

Description

This is a wrapper for confounded_meta that estimates, without any adjustment for confounding bias, the proportion of effect sizes above or below a specified threshold. Effect sizes may be of any type (they need not be relative risks).

Usage

stronger_than(.q, .yr, .vyr = NULL, .t2, .vt2 = NULL, CI.level = 0.95,
  .tail)

Arguments

.q	True effect size that is the threshold for "scientific significance"
.yr	Pooled point estimate from meta-analysis
.vyr	Estimated variance of pooled point estimate from meta-analysis
.t2	Estimated heterogeneity (tau^2) from meta-analysis
.vt2	Estimated variance of tau^2 from meta-analysis
CI.level	Confidence level as a proportion
.tail	above for the proportion of effects above .q; below for the proportion of effects below .q.
