EvidenceSynthesis is part of HADES.
This R package contains routines for combining causal effect estimates and study diagnostics across multiple data sites in a distributed study. This includes functions for performing meta-analysis and forest plots.
# Simulate some data for this example:
<- simulatePopulations()
populations
# Fit a Cox regression at each data site, and approximate likelihood function:
<- function(population) {
fitModelInDatabase <- Cyclops::createCyclopsData(Surv(time, y) ~ x + strata(stratumId),
cyclopsData data = population,
modelType = "cox")
<- Cyclops::fitCyclopsModel(cyclopsData)
cyclopsFit <- approximateLikelihood(cyclopsFit, parameter = "x", approximation = "custom")
approximation return(approximation)
}<- lapply(populations, fitModelInDatabase)
approximations <- do.call("rbind", approximations)
approximations
# At study coordinating center, perform meta-analysis using per-site approximations:
<- computeBayesianMetaAnalysis(approximations)
