sens_inf {metainc}

Decision Inconsistency index for individual studies and leave-one out sensitivity analysis for inconsistency measures

Description

Computation of the Decision Inconsistency index for each individual primary study and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis for the Decision Inconsistency index and the Across-Studies Inconsistency index.

Usage

sens_inf(x)

## S3 method for class 'sens_inf'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sens_inf'
summary(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'summary.sens_inf'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An R object of class inc.

...

Additional arguments (ignored).

object

An R object of class sens_inf.

Details

Computes the Decision Inconsistency index (DI) for each individual primary study and performs a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis for the DI and for the Across-Studies Inconsistency index. This function takes, as its single argument, an object of the class inc.

Value

This function generates:

di_stud

A data frame containing the Decision Inconsistency index for each individual primary study.

di_asi_sens

A data frame containing results of a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis for the Decision Inconsistency index and the Across-Studies Inconsistency index.
