Sensitivity Analysis for Multiple Biases in Meta-Analyses

CRAN Package

Meta-analyses can be compromised by studies' internal biases (e.g., confounding in nonrandomized studies) as well as by publication bias. This package conducts sensitivity analyses for the joint effects of these biases (per Mathur (2022) doi:10.31219/osf.io/u7vcb). These sensitivity analyses address two questions: (1) For a given severity of internal bias across studies and of publication bias, how much could the results change?; and (2) For a given severity of publication bias, how severe would internal bias have to be, hypothetically, to attenuate the results to the null or by a given amount?
