Overview

About

Maintained by Ahmad Sofi-MahmudiFirst published 2026-05-201 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Bayesian multilevel unanchored meta-regression (ML-UMR) for indirect treatment comparisons using individual patient data (IPD) and aggregate data (AgD). Implements shared prognostic factor assumption (SPFA) and relaxed SPFA models for binary, continuous, and count outcomes via 'Stan'. Also provides simulated treatment comparison (STC) via parametric G-computation and naive unadjusted benchmarks. ML-UMR is an adaptation of the ML-NMR methodology (Phillippo et al. 2020, doi:10.1111/rssa.12579) implemented in the 'multinma' package (GPL-3) to the unanchored two-trial case; the public API deliberately mirrors multinma's so users can move between ML-NMR and ML-UMR with the same workflow.

Install

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

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

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

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

Development version from choxos/mlumr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-mlumr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-mlumr

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-mlumr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
