Package: bnma 1.6.1

bnma: Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis using 'JAGS'

Network meta-analyses using Bayesian framework following Dias et al. (2013) <doi:10.1177/0272989X12458724>. Based on the data input, creates prior, model file, and initial values needed to run models in 'rjags'. Able to handle binomial, normal and multinomial arm-level data. Can handle multi-arm trials and includes methods to incorporate covariate and baseline risk effects. Includes standard diagnostics and visualization tools to evaluate the results.

Uses libs:
  • jags– Just Another Gibbs Sampler for Bayesian MCMC - binary JAGS is Just Another Gibbs Sampler. It is a program for analysis of Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation not wholly unlike BUGS. JAGS was written with three aims in mind: * To have an engine for the BUGS language that runs on Unix * To be extensible, allowing users to write their own functions, distributions and samplers. * To be a plaftorm for experimentation with ideas in Bayesian modelling This package contains the 'jags' binary as well as the associated shared library modules loaded by the binary.
  • c++– GNU Standard C++ Library v3
Datasets:
  • blocker - Beta blockers to prevent mortality after myocardial infarction
  • cardiovascular - Trials of low dose and high dose statins for cardiovascular disease vs. placebo
  • certolizumab - Trials of certolizumab pegol (CZP) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in patients
  • parkinsons - Dopamine agonists as adjunct therapy in Parkinson's disease
  • parkinsons_contrast - Dopamine agonists as adjunct therapy in Parkinson's disease
  • smoking - Smoking cessation counseling programs
  • statins - Trials of statins for cholesterol lowering vs. placebo or usual care
  • thrombolytic - Thrombolytic drugs and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
