abstract: >-
  A comprehensive collection of functions for conducting meta-analyses in R.
  The package includes functions to calculate various effect sizes or outcome
  measures, fit equal-, fixed-, random-, and mixed-effects models to such
  data, carry out moderator and meta-regression analyses, and create various
  types of meta-analytical plots (e.g., forest, funnel, radial, L'Abbe,
  Baujat, bubble, and GOSH plots). For meta-analyses of binomial and
  person-time data, the package also provides functions that implement
  specialized methods, including the Mantel-Haenszel method, Peto's method,
  and a variety of suitable generalized linear (mixed-effects) models (i.e.,
  mixed-effects logistic and Poisson regression models). Finally, the package
  provides functionality for fitting meta-analytic multivariate/multilevel
  models that account for non-independent sampling errors and/or true effects
  (e.g., due to the inclusion of multiple treatment studies, multiple
  endpoints, or other forms of clustering). Network meta-analyses and
  meta-analyses accounting for known correlation structures (e.g., due to
  phylogenetic relatedness) can also be conducted. An introduction to the
  package can be found in Viechtbauer (2010) (doi:10.18637/jss.v036.i03).
