pimeta: an R package of prediction intervals for random-effects meta-analysis
pimeta:随机效应元分析预测区间的 R 包
The prediction interval is gaining prominence in meta-analysis as it enables the assessment of uncertainties in treatment effects and heterogeneity between studies. However, coverage probabilities of the current standard method for constructing prediction intervals cannot retain their nominal levels in general, particularly when the number of synthesized studies is moderate or small, because their validities depend on large sample approximations. Recently, several methods…
