In cnodes/metalrversion04: Likelihood ratio meta-analysis

'metalr': Likelihood ratio meta-analysis package

R software package to estimate traditional 95% CIs and 95% intrinsic CIs based on the likelihood ratio meta-analytic approach proposed by Dormuth et al., 2016. In the figure below, we present an example of a forest plot showing 95% CIs and 95% ICIs ( of odds ratio) in a random effect meta-analysis. The combined confidence limits of the 9 studies is also shown.

Overview

The metalr package provide functionalities estimating 95% CIs and 95%ICIs of rate ratio or odds ratio in single studies as well as total effect estimates in meta-analysis. The functions included in the R package are - ici.or() - ici.rr() - metalr_or() - metalr_rr() - forest_metalr()

The vignette, accessable using vignette("metalr"), contains a detailed description of the functions. Examples of their usage are also presented.

Installation

The development version of the metalr package can be installed from GitHub using:

if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("laminjuwara/metalr")
