In crossnma: Cross-Design & Cross-Format Network Meta-Analysis and Regression

crossnma, version 1.2.0 (2023-09-18)

Major changes

• Surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) can be calculated

• Studies with zero or all events excluded from network meta-analysis with binary outcome

• More flexible network graphs

• Rename argument names containing n.thin to thin to match argument name in R packages rjags and coda

User-visible changes

• crossnma.model():
• new arguments 'sucra', 'small.values', 'cov1.value', 'cov2.value' and 'cov3.value' for SUCRAs

• argument 'run.nrs.n.thin' renamed to 'run.nrs.thin'

• crossnma():

• argument 'n.thin' renamed to 'thin'

crossnma, version 1.1.0 (2023-05-08)

Major changes

• More effect measures implemented, i.e., risk ratio (sm = "RR"), mean difference ("MD") and standardised mean difference ("SMD")

• Behaviour of print.crossnma() and print.summary.crossnma() switched (to be in line with other print and print.summary functions in R)

Bug fixes

• crossnma.model():
• fix an error in computing 'cov.ref' for network meta-regression with only IPDs or ADs (not both)

User-visible changes

• crossnma.model():
• new argument 'sm' to specify the effect measure
• new argument 'se' to specify standard error for aggregated data with continuous outcome
• replace list argument 'prior' with arguments 'prior.tau.trt', 'prior.tau.reg0', 'prior.tau.regb', 'prior.tau.regw', 'prior.tau.bias', 'prior.pi.low.rct', 'prior.pi.high.rct', 'prior.pi.low.nrs', 'prior.pi.high.nrs'

• replace list argument 'run.nrs' with arguments 'run.nrs.var.infl', 'run.nrs.mean.shift', 'run.nrs.n.adapt', 'run.nrs.trt.effect', 'run.nrs.n.iter', 'run.nrs.n.burnin', 'run.nrs.n.thin', 'run.nrs.n.chains'

• crossnma.model(), crossnma(), summary.crossnma():

• new argument 'level.ma' to specify the level for credible intervals

• crossnma(), crossnma.model(), heatplot.crossnma(), league.crossnma(), print.crossnma(), summary.crossnma()

• new argument 'backtransf'

• heatplot.crossnma(), league.crossnma(), summary.crossnma()

• argument 'order' replaced by 'seq'
• argument 'exp' replaced by 'backtransf'

Internal changes

• crossnma.model():

• R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to specify the default for arguments 'level.ma' and 'backtransf'

• print.crossnma(), print.summary.crossnma(), league.crossnma():

• R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to specify the default for argument 'digits'

• R function heatplot() renamed to heatplot.crossnma() which relies on generic function heatplot() from R package netmeta

• heatplot.crossnma():

• R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to specify the default for argument 'digits'

• New auxiliary functions from meta package:

• chklevel(), deprecated2(), formatN(), formatCI(), rmSpace(), is.wholenumber()

• New auxiliary function crossnma.model2pairwise()

crossnma, version 1.0.0 (2022-04-11)

• first submission to CRAN
