data.aug.edit: Data editing function for network meta-analysis

In nshi-stat/netiim3: Improved Inference Methods for Network Meta-Analysis

Description

Data editing function for network meta-analysis involving data augmentation of White et al. (2012).

Usage

data.aug.edit(dt1)

Arguments

dt1	Dataset to be edited for analyzing by multivariate meta-analysis functions. To be formatted like the style of the example dataset "smoking".

Value

y	Odds-ratio estimates for all of the pairwise comparisons in which the reference treatment is set to "trt" 1. Formated to a N x p matrix.
S	Within-studies covariance matrix estimates. A matrix with N rows and p(p+1)/2 columns.
