priorid |
Prior ID number. |
statistic |
Descriptive statistic required. Options allowed are "mean" or "sd" for lognormal, log(t), and logit(t) distributions, and "shape" or "scale" for inverse gamma distributions. |

Outputs information on the selected prior. Default = FALSE. |
This function uses data from five original studies to provide a repository of informative priors for the heterogeneity observed in meta-analysis of studies in particular areas of health care.
hetprior
returns the specific descriptive statistic for a specified informative prior distribtution for the
