RoBMA: Robust Bayesian Meta-Analyses

A framework for Bayesian meta-analysis, including model estimation, prior specification, model comparison, prediction, summaries, visualizations, and diagnostics. The package fits single and model-averaged meta-analytic, meta-regression, multilevel, publication bias adjusted, and generalized linear mixed models The model-averaged meta-analytic models combine competing models based on their predictive performance, weight inference by posterior model probabilities, and test model components using Bayes factors (e.g., effect vs. no effect; Bartoš et al., 2022, <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1594>; Maier, Bartoš & Wagenmakers, 2022, <doi:10.1037/met0000405>; Bartoš et al., 2025, <doi:10.1037/met0000737>). Users can specify flexible prior distributions for effect sizes, heterogeneity, publication bias (including selection models and PET-PEESE), and moderators.
