Conduct penalized meta-analysis (âpemaâ) In meta-analysis, there are often between-study differences. These can be coded as moderator variables, and controlled for using meta-regression. However, if the number of moderators is large relative to the number of studies, such an analysis may be overfitted. Penalized meta-regression is useful in these cases, because it shrinks the regression slopes of irrelevant moderators towards zero.
Where do I start?For most users, the recommended starting point is to read the paper published in Research Synthesis Methods, which introduces the method, validates it, and provides a tutorial example.
Installing the packageUse CRAN to install the latest release of pema:
install.packages("pema")Alternatively, use R-universe to install the development version of pema by running the following code:
options(repos = c(
cjvanlissa = 'https://cjvanlissa.r-universe.dev',
CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
install.packages('pema')You can cite pema using the following citation (please use the same citation for either the package, or the paper):
