Description: Computational tools for confidence-distribution-propagation-based
    inference in random-effects meta-analysis. Implements confidence-distribution
    propagation for frequentist inference in random-effects meta-analysis. The
    package samples the between-study variance from a confidence distribution
    based on the exact distribution of Cochran's Q, samples the average effect
    conditionally on each draw, and generates the true effect in a future study.
    It provides prediction intervals and confidence intervals for the average
    effect, between-study variance, between-study standard deviation, and I2.
    The methods are described in Noma and Schwarzer (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2608.26527>.
