In ssifs: Stochastic Search Inconsistency Factor Selection

Stochastic Search Inconsistency Factor Selection of brief alcohol interventions.

Description

Stochastic Search Inconsistency Factor Selection for the evaluation of the consistency assumption for the network meta-analysis model.

These data are used as an example in Seitidis et al. (2021).

Format

A data frame with the following columns:

studyid	study id
treat1	treatment 1
treat2	treatment 2
m1	mean value of brief alcohol intervention in arm 1
m2	mean value of brief alcohol intervention in arm 2
n1	number of individuals in arm 1
n2	number of individuals in arm 2
sd1	standard deviation of brief alcohol intervention in arm 1
sd2	standard deviation of brief alcohol intervention in arm 2
TE	standardized mean difference of treat1 versus treat2
seTE	standard error of standardized mean difference
