Overview

About

Maintained by Jayamini LiyanageFirst published 2024-06-077 releasesCRAN page ↗

Performs multivariate meta-analysis for high-dimensional data to integrate and collectively analyse individual-level data from multiple studies, as well as to combine summary estimates. This approach accounts for correlation between outcomes, incorporates within- and between-study variability, handles missing values, and uses shrinkage estimation to accommodate high dimensionality. The 'MetaHD' R package provides access to our multivariate meta-analysis approach, along with a comprehensive suite of existing meta-analysis methods, including fixed-effects and random-effects models, Fisher's method, Stouffer's method, the weighted Z method, Lancaster's method, the weighted Fisher's method, and vote-counting approach. Visualisation tools are provided for interpreting and comparing results across methods, including Venn diagrams, UpSet plots, and ROC curves, heatmaps of pooled effect sizes and correlations among outcomes. A detailed vignette with example datasets and code for data preparation and analysis is available at https://alyshadelivera.github.io/MetaHD_vignette/.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MetaHD", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-metahd

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MetaHD

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
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
sudo zypper install -y R-MetaHD

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
