metatest-package: metatest fits and tests a metaregression model

In metatest: Fit and Test Metaregression Models

Description

metatest fits and tests a metaregression model. In addition to the traditional z test on the estimated coefficients, metatest also yields more reliable statistics: the t-test, log likelihood ratio test, Bartlett corrected log likelihood ratio test, and the permutation test. The Bartlett corrected log likelihood ratio test and the permutation test are to be recommended since their type 1 errors are adequate.

See metatest for details and an example.
