Calculation of confidence intervals; based on normal approximation
or t-distribution.

User-friendly general package providing standard methods for meta-analysis and supporting Schwarzer, Carpenter, and Rücker <DOI:10.1007/978-3-319-21416-0>, "Meta-Analysis with R" (2015):
- common effect and random effects meta-analysis;
- several plots (forest, funnel, Galbraith / radial, L'Abbe, Baujat, bubble);
- three-level meta-analysis model;
- generalised linear mixed model;
- Hartung-Knapp method for random effects model;
- Kenward-Roger method for random effects model;
- prediction interval;
- statistical tests for funnel plot asymmetry;
- trim-and-fill method to evaluate bias in meta-analysis;
- meta-regression;
- cumulative meta-analysis and leave-one-out meta-analysis;
- import data from 'RevMan 5';
- produce forest plot summarising several (subgroup) meta-analyses.
