Overview

About

Maintained by Thomas QuinnCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Although many software tools can perform meta-analyses on genetic case-control data, none of these apply to combined case-control and family-based (TDT) studies. This package conducts fixed-effects (with inverse variance weighting) and random-effects [DerSimonian and Laird (1986) DOI:10.1016/0197-2456(86)90046-2] meta-analyses on combined genetic data. Specifically, this package implements a fixed-effects model [Kazeem and Farrall (2005) DOI:10.1046/j.1529-8817.2005.00156.x] and a random-effects model [Nicodemus (2008) DOI:10.1186/1471-2105-9-130] for combined studies.

Changes in 1.6.4

---------------------

Modified visualization tools
Moved "Weight (%)" column to end of figure
Added summary diamond and weights to all figures
Slight change to appearance of confidence intervals
Slight change to how studies get named

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/catmap/catmap_1.6.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "catmap_1.6.4.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 (1.6.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("tpq/catmap")

Development version from tpq/catmap. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
