diagmeta: Brief overview of methods and general hints
Description
R package diagmeta implements the method by Steinhauser et al. (2016) for the meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies with multiple cutoffs.
Details
Main function of R package diagmeta is the eponymous
diagmeta. Corresponding functions for printing and
plotting are available: print.diagmeta,
plot.diagmeta
Furthermore, a summary function and corresponding print function
are available to provide a briefer output:

print.summary.diagmeta
Additional functions provided in diagmeta are
diagstats to calculate additional statistical
