R packages - May 2011 - new package 'mvmeta' to perform multivariate meta-analysis

Dear R Community,

I am pleased to announce the release of a new package called  'mvmeta',
now available on CRAN (version 0.2.0).
 
The package mvmeta provides some functions to perform fixed and random-effects
multivariate meta-analysis and meta-regression. This modelling framework is
exploited to pool multiple correlated outcomes across studies, and already
applied in different fields: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
reporting more than 1 outcome, multi-site observational studies estimating
multi-parameterized associations, among others.
 
The package is fully documented through help pages. A package vignette will be
hopefully added soon.
 
I hope that this package will be useful to your work. 
Any kind of feedback (questions, suggestions, bug-reports, etc.) is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Antonio Gasparrini
