[R-meta] Conducting IPD meta-analysis [R]

[Röver, Christian]

Dear Sam,

for IPD meta-analysis, you may in fact need to check out generic
software for mixed models (rather than dedicated meta-analysis
software).

I am currently working on a (Bayesian) IPD meta-analysis, and we are
using the "brms" package (https://cran.r-project.org/package=brms).

For a frequentist analysis, I guess the "lme4", "nlme" or similar
packages may be useful.

Cheers,

Christian
