Description
Implements several methods to meta-analyze studies that report the sample median of the outcome. The methods described by McGrath et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8013>, Ozturk and Balakrishnan (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8738>, and McGrath et al. (2020a) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201900036> can be applied to directly meta-analyze the median or difference of medians between groups. Additionally, a number of methods (e.g., McGrath et al. (2020b) <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080>, Cai et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348>, and McGrath et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233>) are implemented to estimate study-specific (difference of) means and their standard errors in order to estimate the pooled (difference of) means. Methods for meta-analyzing median survival times (McGrath et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.03065>) are also implemented. See McGrath et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1686> for a detailed guide on using the package.
