#' aides: Additive Information & Details of Evidence Synthesis
#'
#' @description
#' \emph{aides}, an R package, has been proposed to be a useful collection of
#' functions designed to offer supplementary information and intricacies in data
#' synthesis and evidence evaluation. Essentially, package \emph{aides} serves
#' as an aiding toolkit for pooled analysis of aggregated data, crafted with a
#' vision to support a more inclusive and informed approach to evidence-based
#' decision-making; and it is developed with values on flexibility, ease of use,
#' and comprehensibility. Package \emph{aides} will be updated with advances of
#' methodology of data synthesis and evidence evaluation. The initial goals are
#' to simplify analysis process for both professionals and public users, and to
#' support them in navigating the complexities of synthesized evidence. Long-term
#' goal of package \emph{aides} is to support knowledge translation and decision-making
#' based on the obtained information with comprehensive understanding of the
#' evidence.
#'
#' Package \emph{aides} is currently is developed using \bold{R version 4.2.2 (2022-10-31 ucrt)}.
#' Extra imported packages are as follows:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'  \item \href{https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/boot/boot_1.3-28.tar.gz}{\emph{boot} (version 1.3-28)}
#'  \item \href{https://cran.r-project.org/package=metafor}{\emph{metafor} (version 4.4-0)}
#'  \item \href{https://cran.r-project.org/package=meta}{\emph{meta} (version 7.0-0)}
#' }

#'
#' @details
#' Current version consists of eight functions, including four functions for
#' examining fundamental assumptions before test of small-study effects (i.e.
#' function \code{\link{PlotDistrSS}}, \code{\link{TestDisparity}}, \code{\link{PlotDisparity}}, and \code{\link{TestDiscordance}})
#' and four functions for performing sequential-method-related analyses (i.e. \code{\link{DoSA}}, \code{\link{DoOSA}},
#' \code{\link{PlotOSA}}, and \code{\link{PlotPower}}).
