metafor

Full-featured R meta-analysis package for complex meta-analyses and reproducing papers.

Details

metafor is a widely used R meta-analysis package that computes many types of effect sizes and fits fixed-, random- and mixed-effects models, supporting moderator analysis, meta-regression, multivariate meta-analysis and multilevel meta-analysis. It can also produce forest plots, funnel plots, radial plots and other common meta-analysis figures.

Use cases: meta-analysis, meta-regression, multilevel meta-analysis, effect size calculation, ecological statistics, reproducing papers

Note: Compared with GUI software, metafor requires some R knowledge, but it is better for saving code, reproducing analyses and handling complex models.
