Overview

About

Maintained by Jayamini LiyanageCRAN page ↗

Performs multivariate meta-analysis for high-dimensional data to integrate and collectively analyse individual-level data from multiple studies, as well as to combine summary estimates. This approach accounts for correlation between outcomes, incorporates within- and between-study variability, handles missing values, and uses shrinkage estimation to accommodate high dimensionality. The 'MetaHD' R package provides access to our multivariate meta-analysis approach, along with a comprehensive suite of existing meta-analysis methods, including fixed-effects and random-effects models, Fisher's method, Stouffer's method, the weighted Z method, Lancaster's method, the weighted Fisher's method, and vote-counting approach. Visualisation tools are provided for interpreting and comparing results across methods, including Venn diagrams, UpSet plots, and ROC curves, heatmaps of pooled effect sizes and correlations among outcomes. A detailed vignette with example datasets and code for data preparation and analysis is available at https://alyshadelivera.github.io/MetaHD_vignette/.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MetaHD", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-metahd

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MetaHD

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MetaHD

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
