remaCor: Random Effects Meta-Analysis for Correlated Test Statistics

Meta-analysis is widely used to summarize estimated effects sizes across multiple statistical tests. Standard fixed and random effect meta-analysis methods assume that the estimated of the effect sizes are statistically independent. Here we relax this assumption and enable meta-analysis when the correlation matrix between effect size estimates is known. Fixed effect meta-analysis uses the method of Lin and Sullivan (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2009.11.001>, and random effects meta-analysis uses the method of Han, et al. <doi:10.1093/hmg/ddw049>.
