jarbes ChangeLog Version 2.2.3 -- November-December 2024 ........................................ - Correction of the summary functions where R2jags affected the pD values: * bmeta and summary.bmeta * bcmeta and summary.bcmeta * bcmixmeta ... the summary.bcmixmeta needs to be improved * bcdpmeta ... the summary.bcdpmeta needs to be improved * b3lmeta and summary.b3lmeta * dpmeta ... the summary.dpmeta needs to be improved * dpmetareg ... the summary.dpmetareg needs to be improved * dpmmeta ... the summary.dpmetareg needs to be improved * hmr and summary.hmr * metarisk and summary.metarisk - The interface "rjags" is not supported. Only R2jags is supported. - We add the risk of bias assessment for the "stemcells" dataframe. Version 2.2.2 -- September-October 2024 ........................................ Improvements of the bcmixmeta() function to collect information about co-clustering for studies in the bias cluster. Experimental: - bcmixmeta() function with two directions of bias - bcmixmeta() function with one covariate in meta-regression - dpmetareg() function to perform Dependent Dirichlet Process meta-regression. Version 2.2.1 -- June 2024 ................................................. Correction of two bugs: 1) bcmeta() function, the biased mean is mu[2] <- B =< mu.bias = mu[1]+B 2) bcmixmeta() function, the biased means of the DP for the betas[i] is mu.k[k] ~ dnorm(B, inv.var.beta) Version 2.2.0 -- November 2023 ............................................. Implementation of the bcmixmeta for the ISCB-2023 paper Implementation of the bcdpmeta for the ISCB-2023 paper Version 2.1.2 -- August 2023 ................................................... * dpmeta: Bayesian meta-analysis with Dirichlet Process with base distribution G0=N(mu.0, sigma.0^2) * dpmmeta: Bayesian meta-analysis with Dirichlet Process Mixture with base distribution G0=N(mu.0, sigma.0^2) * bcdpmeta: Bias Corrected model with Dirichlet Process. I try three different possibilities: 1) Using dnormmix in JAGS, which is extremely slow 2) Using common w_k and alpha 3) Using two different DPs, one for theta and one for beta. This is a convex combination of two DP. Version 2.1.1 -- February 2023.................................................. * jarbes does not depend of the tidyverse anymore. Only tidyr is imported. Commitments for the next version * bmeta: scale mixture random effects * diagnostic bmeta: compare Bayesian cross-validation and scale mixture weights * Vignettes: * bmeta * bcmeta * b3lmeta * metarisk * bforest: a forest plot for bmeta; bcmeta; b3lmeta. * hmr: Posterior prediction of the treatment effect to an new group of patients * Effective number of studies in bcmeta and bmeta and b3lmeta * Function: betaplot for the regression coefficients of hmr * Binomial and Poisson likelihoods in bmeta, bcmeta and b3lmeta using the arguments "family=...", "link="..." * Tweedy's formula for bias: this is to understand the different bias correction approaches (e.g. bmeta vs. bcmeta vs. b3lmeta vs. bmetareg) * Planned: Meta-regression function........................ * Function: bmetareg * Function: summary.bmetareg * Function: plot for bmetareg * Function: diagnostic for bmetareg * Function: betaplot for the regression coefficients of bmetareg * Publication bias modeling. Version 2.1.0 -- May-June-July-August 2022.................................................. * New data set: hips * Vignette for hmr() with a real example. * Important Bug correction in hmr(): From version 1.7.0 (Verde, 2019) to 1.7.4 I commented a line in the preparation of the IPD. This action generated a massive differences in the estimation of mu.phi. Now, this bug is solved. * New function: effect() for the class "hmr"". This function plots the posterior contour for effectivenes in a subgroup identify by the hmr. * The function plot.hmr() only shows the location of the baseline risk corresponding to AD and IPD. * Parameters: beta.0 and beta.1 are now alpha.0 and alpha.1. This is for consistency in the notation in the current presentation of the model. This change affect the Figures of the supplementary material of Verde (2019). * Bug correction: Odds ratio calculation with different link functions in metarisk() * Bug correction: Odds ratio calculation with different link functions in hmr() * Predictive summaries are depreciated in hmr() * Predictive summaries are depreciated in metarisk() * summary.hmr: predictive summaries omitted. * summary.metarisk: predictive summaries omitted. * The argument to run rjags is depreciated in all functions.

It will be replaced by the function "bcmeta" Version 1.7.4 -- November - December 2019 * Preparation for the paper on mixture models Version 1.7.3 -- April - May 2019 * Correction in the example of data ppvcap, metariks(..., two.by.two = TRUE,...) * Typo correction in the example of ges() "ppvipv" must be "ppvipd" Version 1.7.2 -- February-March 2019 * New function: "gesmix"" performs the finite mixture random effects bias analysis of Verde 2017 and Verde and Curcio 2019. * New arguments for the function "ges": EmBi = "Empirical Bias"standing for "penalization of observational studies" ExPe = "Explicit Penalization" for observational studies. * All if()s 've been checked. The reason was: Issue from CRAN compilation: --- failure: length > 1 in coercion to logical --- Version 1.7.1 -- December 2018 * A bug in function hmr() is fixed. Version 1.7.0 -- June 2018 * Implementation of the function "hmr" for combining aggregated data and individual participant data. * New dataset "healing": this dataset corresponds to a systematic review of aggregated data. The primary endpoint is healing without amputation in one year follow up. * New dataset "healingipd": This dataset corresponds to individual participant data for diabetic patients.

And 21 small RCTs with evaluation of Risk of Bias. All are studies have aggregated data. * foot.ad: 36 RCTs which investigate adjunctive therapies vs. routine medical care in diabetic patients. The primary outcome is healing without foot amputation. There are aggregated covariates describing studies and patients characteristics. * foot.ipd: A cohort study with 260 diabetic patients, the outcome variable is healing without amputation in a followup of one year. In addition we have 14 potential risk factors.
