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 f...

...nt of the package 'metafor. As you suggested , I post to the R-help mailing list. I read you're planning an extension of this method to the multivariate case. I think it would be a useful tool. I'm currently performing some analyses with R on multiple outcomes, using the Stata command mvmeta to get meta-analytic multivariate estimates, then coming back to R to use these results. Obviously, it's irritating to switch software every time. Briefly: - Are you still planning this extension? And in this case, do you have a planned date? - What are likely to be the advantages and limitat...

Hi all, I received a request from the R maintainers (kurt Hornik) to fix some problems arising in r-devel with my package mvmeta. Basically, the check returns a series of warnings about a mismatch in the documentation of some data sets between the code and the docs. See the results at: http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_mvmeta.html The problem might be that I grouped the variables in lists separated by com...

Hello. A quick question about incorporating variation due to study in the metafor package. I'm working with a particular data set for meta-analysis where some studies have multiple measurements. Others do not. So, let's say the effect I'm looking at is response to two different kinds of drug treatment - let's call their effect sizes T1 and T2. Some studies have multiple
