In bnma: Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis using 'JAGS'

bnma (Bayesian network meta analysis)

This Package is quite similar and has been inspired by the popular Bayesian NMA package gemtc. Some additional features of bnma include:

• bnma allows binomial, normal, and multinomial outcomes.
• bnma adds modelling baseline risk
• bnma automatically checks for convergence using gelman-rubin diagnostics before sampling full iteration amount
• bnma generates reasonable and dispersed initial values if left unspecified
• bnma adds an option to report relative risk, risk difference, and number needed to treat using external placebo event rate when the outcome is binomial
• bnma adds new summary plots: rank plots, forest plot, etc

Please see the vignette for detailed examples of using this package.
