mvnma: Multivariate Network Meta-Analysis using Bayesian Methods

Tools to conduct Bayesian multivariate network meta-analysis providing - the single correlation coefficient model by Efthimiou et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxu030>; - per-outcome treatment hierarchies using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), the probability of best value, or median (or mean) ranks (Salanti et al., 2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2010.03.016>; - across-outcomes benefit-risk assessment using the VišeKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Rešenje (VIKOR) method (Opricovic & Tzeng, 2004) <doi:10.1016/S0377-2217(03)00020-1>; - convergence checks using trace plots, density plots, or the R-hat statistic; - forest plots of treatment estimates, scatter plots of per-outcome rankings, Hasse diagrams (Carlsen & Bruggemann, 2014) <doi:10.1002/cem.2569> to visualize the partial order of the treatments across all outcomes.
