summary.metaplus

Summarises the meta-analysis, giving the parameter estimates and goodness of fit statistics. For the robust methods this includes the values of the parameters relating to robustness. In the summary the 95% confidence intervals are calculated using the profile likelihood method. To produce corresponding p-values these are obtained from the likelihood ratio test statistic.

method

summary

Performs meta-analysis and meta-regression using standard and robust methods with confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood. Robust methods are based on alternative distributions for the random effect, either the t-distribution (Lee and Thompson, 2008 <doi:10.1002/sim.2897> or Baker and Jackson, 2008 <doi:10.1007/s10729-007-9041-8>) or mixtures of normals (Beath, 2014 <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1114>).
