I also documented the
vtype
options for RD, which were available but undocumented.Changes:
Add
vtype = "AV"
for RR and OR measures following the existing structure for RD. Thevtype = "AV"
options will have very similar properties to the sample-size weighted estimator described by Bakbergenuly et al. (2019) and is much easier to implement in the existing code structure.Add
vtype = "UB"
for RR and OR measures following the existing structure for RD by subtracting 1 from the total group sample sizes.Document the
vtype
options for RR, OR, and RD. RD options were previously available, but undocumented.Ref:
