Preface Meta-analysis plays a key role in evidence synthesis in many research disciplines, not least the social sciences, medicine and economics. The aim of this book is to equip those involved in such work (who are often not trained statisticians) to use R for meta-analysis, and thus promote both the use of R and the latest statistical methods in this area. The attractions of R in this context (besides its free availability from http://www. r-project.org/) are its fast yet powerful and flexible graphics and its well-established algorithmic base. The book assumes no prior knowledge of R, and takes readers through every step of the way from installing R, loading data from other packages, performing and interpreting the analyses. Parts I and II cover the essentials, while Part III considers more advanced topics, which remain the subject of active research. Throughout, the ideas are illustrated with examples, and all the codes necessary to repeat these examples (including creating all the plots in the book) are either in the text itself or the web-appendix http://meta-analysis-with-r.org/. In selecting the code to include in the main text, we have assumed readers are relatively new to R. More experienced users can easily skip over familiar material.

Acknowledgements This book was funded partly by the German Research Foundation (DFG), Research Unit 534, FOR Schw 821/2-2. Subsequently, Gerta Rücker was funded by the German Research Foundation (RU 1747/1-1). James Carpenter is grateful for fund- ing from the UK Medical Research Council’s London Hub for Trials Methodology. We are grateful to the members of the R Core Team who provide and maintain the statistical package R. We would also like to acknowledge our debt to the authors of R packages for meta-analysis, which we use in this book. Particular thanks go to Wolfgang Viechtbauer for the comprehensive R package metafor, Antonio Gasparrini for the versatile R package mvmeta for multivariate meta-analysis, and for advice on its use, and Philipp Doebler for the R package mada and his contribution to the chapter on meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies. Special thanks are also due to Ulrike Krahn for her advice and encouragement with the chapter on network meta-analysis. We are also grateful to Anna Wiksten, Jan Beyersmann, Karin Schiefele, Harriet Sommer and two anonymous referees for reading earlier versions of the manuscript and many helpful and detailed comments. These have substantially improved the book. We are also grateful to our families for their forbearance over the course of the project. Despite this encouragement and support, the text inevitably contains errors and shortcomings, for which we take full responsibility. Last but not least, we have found collaborating on this project both informative and fun; if readers feel the same after reading the book, we will be very satisfied! vii
