Estimates the proportion of true effect sizes in a meta-analysis above or below a specified threshold of scientific importance. Effect sizes may be of any type (they need not be relative risks). This is a wrapper for confounded_meta; it is the special case in which there is no unmeasured confounding.

stronger_than(q, yr, vyr = NA, t2, vt2 = NA, CI.level = 0.95, tail)

Arguments

q

True effect size that is the threshold for "scientific importance"

yr

Pooled point estimate from meta-analysis

vyr

Estimated variance of pooled point estimate from meta-analysis

t2

Estimated heterogeneity (tau^2) from meta-analysis

vt2

Estimated variance of tau^2 from meta-analysis

CI.level

Confidence level as a proportion

tail

above for the proportion of effects above q; below for the proportion of effects below q.
