Implements the methods of McGrath et al. (in preparation) for
estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from commonly reported
quantiles in meta-analysis. These methods can be applied to studies that
report the sample median, sample size, and one or both of (i) the sample
minimum and maximum values and (ii) the first and third quartiles.
