MBNMAdose - Dose-Response MBNMA Models
Fits Bayesian dose-response model-based network
meta-analysis (MBNMA) that incorporate multiple doses within an
agent by modelling different dose-response functions, as
described by Mawdsley et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12091>.
By modelling dose-response relationships this can connect
networks of evidence that might otherwise be disconnected, and
can improve precision on treatment estimates. Several common
dose-response functions are provided; others may be added by
the user. Various characteristics and assumptions can be
flexibly added to the models, such as shared class effects. The
consistency of direct and indirect evidence in the network can
be assessed using unrelated mean effects models and/or by
node-splitting at the treatment level.
