Overview

About

Maintained by Maya B. MathurCRAN page ↗

Conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding in random-effects meta-analysis per Mathur & VanderWeele (in preparation). Given output from a random-effects meta-analysis with a relative risk outcome, computes point estimates and inference for: (1) the proportion of studies with true causal effect sizes more extreme than a specified threshold of scientific significance; and (2) the minimum bias factor and confounding strength required to reduce to less than a specified threshold the proportion of studies with true effect sizes of scientifically significant size. Creates plots and tables for visualizing these metrics across a range of bias values. Provides tools to easily scrape study-level data from a published forest plot or summary table to obtain the needed estimates when these are not reported.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ConfoundedMeta/ConfoundedMeta_1.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ConfoundedMeta_1.3.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.3.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
