Major changes
- For Copas selection model, show value of between-study variance and
standard deviation in printouts
Bug fixes
- Arguments ‘lfkindex’ and ‘xlim’ were ignored in doiplot()
User-visible changes
- doiplot():
- print more informative label on horizontal axis for meta-analysis
objects
Internal changes
- lfkindex():
- new list element ‘x’ with meta-analysis object used as input
User-visible changes
- Change maintainer’s email address
Internal changes
Major changes
- Use term ‘common effect model’ instead of ‘fixed effect model’ in
the documentation and argument ‘common’ instead of ‘fixed’ to (not) show
results for common effect model
Bug fixes
- Calculation of adjusted standard error in limitmeta() for adjustment
method beta0 (default):
- use random effects instead of fixed effect weights
- consider covariance between alpha and beta
User-visible changes
- plot.copas():
- new argument ‘main’ replacing deprecated argument ‘caption’
Major changes
Behaviour of print and print.summary functions switched (to be in
line with other print and print.summary functions in R)
Renamed arguments:
- ‘fixed’ (instead of ‘comb.fixed’)
- ‘random’ (instead of ‘comb.random’)
- ‘level.ma’ (instead of ‘level.comb’)
In metamiss(), an infinite IMOR value is set to 1e10 instead of
9999
User-visible changes
- metamiss():
- arguments ‘IMOR.e’ and ‘IMOR.c’ can be specified for each individual
study
Major changes
New functions doiplot() and lfkindex() implementing the Doi plot
for asymmetry and the LFK index to test for asymmetry (Furuya-Kanamori et
al., 2018)
Confidence interval of limit meta-analysis estimate can be shown
in funnel plot
User-visible changes
- funnel.limitmeta():
- new argument ‘show.ci.adjust’ to show confidence interval of
adjusted estimate as a diamond
Major changes
- Calculation of adjusted treatment estimate for Copas model in R
function copas() instead of summary.copas()
User-visible changes
- copas():
- new argument ‘level.comb’ to calculate confidence interval for
pooled estimates
- new arguments ‘title’, ‘complab’ and ‘outclab’ to print information
on systematic review / meta-analysis
- summary.copas() and plot.copas():
- arguments ‘sign.rsb’ and ‘level’ removed
- print.copas():
- argument ‘sign.rsb’ removed
- print.limitmeta(), print.orbbound(), print.summary.limitmeta():
- argument ‘digits.zval’ renamed to ‘digits.stat’
Internal changes
- copas():
- new list elements (with information for adjusted overall effect):
‘TE.adjust’, ‘seTE.adjust’, ‘lower.adjust’, ‘upper.adjust’,
‘statistic.adjust’ and ‘pval.adjust’
User-visible changes
Internal changes
- Call funnel.meta() instead of funnel.default() which will be removed
from R package meta, version 4.13-0
Major changes
New function metamiss() implementing imputation methods for
missing binary data (Gamble &
Hollis, 2005; Higgins et al.,
2008)
Use roxygen2 for development of R package
metasens
Dataset ‘nsaids’ renamed to ‘Moore1998’
Major changes
Version of R package meta must be larger or
equal 4.9-0
For limit meta-analysis, R_b measure of between-study
heterogeneity added (Crippa
et al., 2016)
P-values can be printed in scientific notation
P-values equal to 0 are actually printed as “0” instead of “<
0.0001”
Thousands separator can be used in printouts and forest plots for
large numbers
User-visible changes
- print.summary.limitmeta():
- new argument print.Rb to specify if heterogeneity measure should be
shown in output
Internal changes
- Code customisations due to changes in R package
meta, version 4.9-0
User-visible changes
- plot.copas():
- default label on x-axis in two bottom plots should read ‘… largest
se’ instead of ‘… largest sd’
Major changes
User-visible changes
- copas():
- new argument ‘sign.rsb’ (which has been available in function
summary.copas since version 0.6-3 of R package
copas)
- plot.copas(), print.copas(), and summary.copas():
- consider default value for argument ‘sign.rsb’ from copas
object
- limitmeta():
- argument ‘sm’ removed (not necessary)
- set z- and p-value of adjusted effect equal to NA for metaprop
objects
- Help pages updated
Bug fixes
- print.copas():
- other values than 0.1 considered for argument ‘sign.rsb’
- print.summary.limitmeta():
- no error for metaprop objects
Internal changes
- copas() and print.copas():
