Overview

About

Maintained by Clement BerenfeldFirst published 2025-10-093 releasesCRAN page ↗

A tool for causal meta-analysis. This package implements the aggregation formulas and inference methods proposed in Berenfeld et al. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.20168. Users can input aggregated data across multiple studies and compute causally meaningful aggregated effects of their choice (risk difference, risk ratio, odds ratio, etc) under user-specified population weighting. The built-in function camea() allows to obtain precise variance estimates for these effects and to compare the latter to a classical meta-analysis aggregate, the random effect model, as implemented in the 'metafor' package https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=metafor.

zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
