RoBMA
Robust Bayesian Meta-Analyses
A framework for estimating ensembles of meta-analytic and meta-regression models (assuming either presence or absence of the effect, heterogeneity, publication bias, and moderators). The RoBMA framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing meta-analytic models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual components (e.g., effect vs. no effect; Bartoš et al., 2022, doi:10.1002/jrsm.1594; Maier, Bartoš & Wagenmakers, 2022, doi:10.1037/met0000405). Users can define a wide range of prior distributions for + the effect size, heterogeneity, publication bias (including selection models and PET-PEESE), and moderator components. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, and fit diagnostics.
