#' NMAoutlier: Brief overview of measures and methodologies for
#' detection of outlying and influential studies in network
#' meta-analysis.
#'
#' @description
#' R package \bold{NMAoutlier} provides methods and tools to detect
#' outlier and influential studies in network meta-analysis.
#'
#' @details
#' R package \bold{NMAoutlier} is a tool to detect outliers (studies
#' with extreme results) and influential studies in network
#' meta-analysis (Petropoulou, 2020). The package can calculate:
#' simple outlier and influential measures; outlier and influential
#' measures considered study deletion (shift the mean); the outlier
#' detection methodology with Forward Search (FS) algorithm
#' (Petropoulou et al., 2021). All proposed outlier and influential
#' detection methods were fitted the frequentist NMA model by graph
#' theory introduced by Rücker (2012) and implemented inR package
#' \bold{netmeta}.
#'
#' The \bold{NMAoutlier} package implements the following methods
#' described in Petropoulou (2020).
#' \itemize{
#' \item \bold{Simple outlier and influential detection measures}
#' (function \code{\link{NMAoutlier.measures}}):
#' \enumerate{
#' \item raw residuals,
#' \item standardized residuals,
#' \item studentized residuals,
#' \item Mahalanobis distance,
#' \item leverage;
#' }
#' \item \bold{Outlier and influential detection measures considered
#' study deletion (shift the mean)} (function
#' \code{\link{NMAoutlier.measures}}):
#' \enumerate{
#' \item raw deleted residuals,
#' \item standardized deleted residuals,
#' \item studentized deleted residuals,
#' \item Cook's distance,
#' \item COVRATIO,
#' \item weight leave one out,
#' \item leverage leave one out,
#' \item heterogeneity leave one out,
#' \item R heterogeneity,
#' \item R Qtotal,
#' \item R Qheterogeneity,
#' \item R Qinconsistency,
#' \item DFBETAS;
#' }
#' \item Plots of the several outlier and influential detection
#' (simple and deletion) measures (function
#' (\code{\link{measplot}}));
#' \item Q-Q plot for network meta-analysis (function
#' \code{\link{Qnetplot}});
#' \item \bold{Forward Search algorithm in network meta-analysis}
#' (function (\code{\link{NMAoutlier}})) based on Petropoulou et
#' al. (2021);
#' \item forward plots (\code{\link{fwdplot}}) with monitoring
#' statistics in each step of the FS algorithm:
#' \enumerate{
#' \item P-scores (Rücker & Schwarzer, 2015),
#' \item z-values for difference of direct and indirect evidence
#' with back-calculation method (König et al., 2013; Dias et al.,
#' 2010),
#' \item standardized residuals,
#' \item heterogeneity variance estimator,
#' \item Cook's distance,
#' \item ratio of variances,
#' \item Q statistics (Krahn et al., 2013);
#' }
#' \item forward plots (\code{\link{fwdplotest}}) for summary
#' treatment estimates in each iteration of the FS algorithm
#' (Petropoulou et al., 2021).
#' }
