metagroup: Meaningful Grouping of Studies in Meta-Analysis

Description

The 'metagroup' package provides a suite of tools to perform meaningful subgrouping in a meta-analysis. This is a two-step process: first, use the iterative grouping functions (e.g., 'mgbin()', 'mgcont()') to partition studies into statistically homogeneous clusters. Second, use the 'meaning()' function to analyze these new subgroups and understand their composition based on study-level characteristics (e.g., country, setting).
