Advanced statistical methods to model and adjust for bias in meta-analysis. More standard methods, i.e. tests for bias in meta-analysis and the trim-and-fill method are provided in R package meta. Main purpose of these methods is to evaluate how sensitive the result of a meta-analysis is to potential bias in meta-analysis. The following methods are available:
- Copas selection model;
- limit meta-analysis;
- upper bound for outcome reporting bias.

Advanced Statistical Methods to Model and Adjust for Bias in
Meta-Analysis
The following methods to evaluate how sensitive the results of a meta-analysis are to potential bias in meta-analysis are implemented:
- Copas selection model;
- limit meta-analysis;
- upper bound for outcome reporting bias.

The following methods are implemented to evaluate how sensitive the results of a meta-analysis are to potential bias in meta-analysis:

The following methods are implemented to evaluate how sensitive the results of a meta-analysis are to potential bias in meta-analysis and to support Schwarzer et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-319-21416-0>, Chapter 5 "Small-Study Effects in Meta-Analysis":
- Copas selection model described in Copas & Shi (2001) <DOI:10.1177/096228020101000402>;
- limit meta-analysis by Rücker et al. (2011) <DOI:10.1093/biostatistics/kxq046>;
- upper bound for outcome reporting bias by Copas & Jackson (2004) <DOI:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2004.00161.x>.
