esci: Estimation Statistics with Confidence Intervals

Documented in meta_d2

#' Estimate meta-analytic standardized mean difference across multiple
#' two group studies (all paired, all independent, or a mix).
#'
#' @description
#' `meta_d2` is suitable for synthesizing across multiple two-group studies
#' (paired or independent) with a continuous outcome measure but where not
#' all studies are measured on the same scale, and instead the magnitude of
#' difference for each study is expressed as d_s or d_avg.
#'
#'
#' @details
#' Once you generate an estimate with this function, you can visualize
#' it with [esci::plot_meta()].
#'
#'
#' Each study's effect size should be expressed as:
#'   Cohen's d_s: (comparison_mean - reference_mean) / sd_pooled
#' or
#'   Cohen_'s d_avg: (comparison_mean - reference_mean) / sd_avg
#'
#' To enter d_s, set assume_equal_variance to TRUE
#' To enter d_avg, set assume_equal_variance to FALSE
#'
#' And the d values should all be corrected for bias.
#' The function [esci::CI_smd_ind_contrast()] can assist with converting
#' raw data from each study to d_s or d_avg with bias correction.  It also
#' has more details on calculation of these forms of d and their CIs.
#'
#'
#' The meta-analytic effect size, confidence interval and heterogeneity
#' estimates all come from [metafor::rma()].
#'
#' The diamond ratio and its confidence interval come from
#' [esci::CI_diamond_ratio()].
#'
#'
#' @param data A data frame or tibble
#' @param ds Set of bias-adjusted cohen's d_s or d_avg values, 1 for each study
#' @param comparison_ns Set of comparison_group sample sizes, positive integers,
#'   1 for each study
#' @param reference_ns Set of reference_groups sample sizes, positive integers,
#'   1 for each study
#' @param r optional correlation between measures for w-s studies, NA otherwise
#' @param labels Optional set of labels, 1 for each study
#' @param moderator Optional factor as a categorical moderator; should have k >
#'   2 per group
#' @param contrast Optional vector specifying a contrast between moderator
#'   levels
#' @param effect_label Optional character providing a human-friendly label for
#'   the effect
#' @param random_effects Boolean; TRUE for a random effects model; otherwise
#'   fixed effects
#' @param assume_equal_variance Defaults to FALSE
#' @param conf_level The confidence level for the confidence interval.  Given in
#'   decimal form.  Defaults to 0.95.
