OHDSI/EvidenceSynthesis: An R package for combining evidence from multiple sources (e.g. multiple data sites)

EvidenceSynthesis is part of HADES.

This R package contains routines for combining causal effect estimates and study diagnostics across multiple data sites in a distributed study. This includes functions for performing meta-analysis and forest plots.

• Perform a traditional fixed-effects or random-effects meta-analysis, and create a forest plot.
• Use non-normal approximations of the per-data-site likelihood function to avoid bias when facing small and zero counts.

# Simulate some data for this example:
populations <- simulatePopulations()

# Fit a Cox regression at each data site, and approximate likelihood function:
fitModelInDatabase <- function(population) {
  cyclopsData <- Cyclops::createCyclopsData(Surv(time, y) ~ x + strata(stratumId),
                                            data = population,
                                            modelType = "cox")
  cyclopsFit <- Cyclops::fitCyclopsModel(cyclopsData)
  approximation <- approximateLikelihood(cyclopsFit, parameter = "x", approximation = "custom")
  return(approximation)
}
approximations <- lapply(populations, fitModelInDatabase)
approximations <- do.call("rbind", approximations)

# At study coordinating center, perform meta-analysis using per-site approximations:
estimate <- computeBayesianMetaAnalysis(approximations)
estimate

This an R package with some parts implemented in Java.

Requires R and Java.

1. Make sure your R environment is properly configured. This means that Java must be installed. See these instructions for how to configure your R environment.

2. In R, use the following commands to download and install EvidenceSynthesis:

   install.packages("EvidenceSynthesis")

Documentation can be found on the package website.
