#' nmaINLA: Network meta-analysis using INLA
#'
#' An R package for performing network meta-analysis using INLA.
#'
#' @section Details:
#' Network meta-analysis is a generalization of pairwise meta-analysis to analyze networks
#' of trials comparing two or more treatments simultaneously (Dias et al, 2011). Bayesian
#' hierarchical models are commonly used for network meta-analysis (Dias et al, 2011). The
#' default choice for performing inference within such models are Markov Chain Monte Carlo
#' (MCMC), for example using BUGS-variants programs such as JAGS. A deterministic approach
#' to do fully Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are integrated nested
#' Laplace approximations (INLA) (Rue et al, 2009) which is a fast and accurate alternative
#' to MCMC. INLA methodology is implemented as an R package INLA (<www.r-inla.org>). Sauter
#' and Held (2015) has shown that INLA can be used for fitting many NMA models including
#' fixed effect and consistency models, node-splitting models.
#'
#' This package extends the INLA implementation of Sauter and Held (2015) to Jackson
#' model (Jackson et al, 2014) and network meta-regression and extracts the
#' features needed for NMA models from INLA R package and presents
#' in an intuitive way (Guenhan et al, 2018). Currently, contrast-based network
#' meta-analysis using trial-arm level data for datasets with binary, continuous, and survival outcomes are supported.
#' Note that the installation of R package
#' 'INLA' is compulsory for successful usage. The 'INLA' package can be obtained from
#' <http://www.r-inla.org>. We recommend the testing version, which can be downloaded
#' by running: install.packages("INLA",repos=c(getOption("repos"),
#' INLA="https://inla.r-inla-download.org/R/testing"), dep=TRUE).
