About

Maintained by Ahmad Sofi-MahmudiFirst published 2026-06-191 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Express meta-analyses of continuous trial outcomes in terms of responder risks, following the interpretability tutorial of Thorlund, Walter, Johnston, Furukawa and Guyatt (2011) doi:10.1002/jrsm.46. Given the mean change, standard deviation and sample size per arm across studies, respondeR estimates the proportion of patients who cross a minimal important difference (MID) threshold under a parametric model for the change scores, and contrasts the arms as a risk difference, risk ratio, odds ratio or number needed to treat. It provides median, unweighted-mean, weighted-mean and per-study (fixed- or random-effects) pooling, the standardized-mean-difference to odds-ratio bridge of Anzures-Cabrera, Sarpatwari and Higgins (2011) doi:10.1002/sim.4298, a threshold-free common-language effect size, and a point-and-click 'Shiny' application. The estimation methods were evaluated in a simulation study by Sofi-Mahmudi (2024) https://hdl.handle.net/11375/30210.

Install

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

install.packages("respondeR", 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/respondeR")

Development version from choxos/respondeR. 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-responder

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-respondeR

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-respondeR

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