convertORSMD: Conversion between Odds Ratios (OR) and Standardised Mean...

In nkappelmann/PubHelper: Facilitating Result-Processing for Scientific Publication

Description

This function converts ORs to SMDs or vice versa using the formula SMD=log(OR)/1.81, which was proposed by Chinn et al. (2000).

Usage

convertORSMD(input, initialMetric = "OR")

Arguments

input	Input needs to be a value/vector of ORs or SMDs. Type of metric is defined in the initialMetric argument.
initialMetric	Initial metric provided to input argument needs to be defined as "OR" or "SMD". Default is "OR".
