Conduct random forests-based meta-analysis, obtain partial dependence plots for metaforest and classic meta-analyses, and cross-validate and tune metaforest- and classic meta-analyses in conjunction with the caret package. A requirement of classic meta-analysis is that the studies being aggregated are conceptually similar, and ideally, close replications. However, in many fields, there is substantial heterogeneity between studies on the same topic. Classic meta-analysis lacks the power to assess more than a handful of univariate moderators. MetaForest, by contrast, has substantial power to explore heterogeneity in meta-analysis. It can identify important moderators from a larger set of potential candidates (Van Lissa, 2020). This is an appealing quality, because many meta-analyses have small sample sizes. Moreover, MetaForest yields a measure of variable importance which can be used to identify important moderators, and offers partial prediction plots to explore the shape of the marginal relationship between moderators and effect size.

We provide detailed functions for univariate Mixed Tempered Stable distribution.

Calculates exact hypothesis tests to compare a treatment and a reference group with respect to multiple binary endpoints. The tested null hypothesis is an identical multidimensional distribution of successes and failures in both groups. The alternative hypothesis is a larger success proportion in the treatment group in at least one endpoint. The tests are based on the multivariate permutation distribution of subjects between the two groups. For this permutation distribution, rejection regions are calculated that satisfy one of different possible optimization criteria. In particular, regions with maximal exhaustion of the nominal significance level, maximal power under a specified alternative or maximal number of elements can be found. Optimization is achieved by a branch-and-bound algorithm. By application of the closed testing principle, the global hypothesis tests are extended to multiple testing procedures.

This package provides a method for multivariate ordinal data generation given marginal distributions and correlation matrix based on the methodology proposed by Demirtas (2006) <DOI:10.1080/10629360600569246>.

Multiple Imputation has been shown to be a flexible method to impute missing values by Van Buuren (2007) <doi:10.1177/0962280206074463>. Expanding on this, random forests have been shown to be an accurate model by Stekhoven and Buhlmann <arXiv:1105.0828> to impute missing values in datasets. They have the added benefits of returning out of bag error and variable importance estimates, as well as being simple to run in parallel.

Fits a Bayesian Regression Model for multivariate count data. This model assumes that the data is distributed according to the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution, and for each response variable it is associate different covariates. This model allows to account for correlations between the counts by using latent effects based on the Chib and Winkelmann (2001) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1392277> proposal.

Estimation of treatment hierarchies in network meta-analysis using a novel frequentist approach based on treatment choice criteria (TCC) and probabilistic ranking models, as described by Evrenoglou et al. (2024) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2406.10612>. The TCC are defined using a rule based on the smallest worthwhile difference (SWD). Using the defined TCC, the NMA estimates (i.e., treatment effects and standard errors) are first transformed into treatment preferences, indicating either a treatment preference (e.g., treatment A > treatment B) or a tie (treatment A = treatment B). These treatment preferences are then synthesized using a probabilistic ranking model, which estimates the latent ability parameter of each treatment and produces the final treatment hierarchy. This parameter represents each treatments ability to outperform all the other competing treatments in the network. Here the terms ability to outperform indicates the propensity of each treatment to yield clinically important and beneficial effects when compared to all the other treatments in the network. Consequently, larger ability estimates indicate higher positions in the ranking list.
