metaConvert - An Automatic Suite for Estimation of Various Effect Size
Measures
Automatically estimate 14 effect size measures from a
well-formatted dataset, including Cohen's d, Hedges' g, mean
difference, odds ratio, risk ratio, incidence rate ratio, risk
difference, number needed to treat, Pearson correlation,
Fisher's z, Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation
coefficient, and single-group proportion. Provides a two-tier
quality-flag diagnostic system for input validation and
post-computation plausibility checks, missing-data guidance
that tells users which columns would unlock additional
estimators, post-hoc correction for attenuation due to
measurement error, and standalone psychometric utilities
(standard error of measurement, smallest detectable change,
change-score reliability). Various other functions can help,
for example, removing dependency between several effect sizes,
or identifying differences between two datasets. This package
is mainly designed to assist in conducting a systematic review
with a meta-analysis but can be useful to any researcher
interested in estimating an effect size.
