R Bayesian Evidence Synthesis Tools
Tool-set to support Bayesian evidence synthesis. This
includes meta-analysis, (robust) prior derivation from historical
data, operating characteristics and analysis (1 and 2 sample
cases). Please refer to Neuenschwander et al. (2010)
and Schmidli et al. (2014)
for details on the methodology.
