netdose, version 0.7-4 (15-01-2025)

Major changes

• netdose():
  • exponential model with a parameter p included
  • new option with argument correlated: correlated treatment arms in multi-arm studies (trials & triangles variance for parallel studies)

netdose, version 0.7-2

Major changes

• Return Q statistic of standard network meta-analysis model using the splitting approach in addition to lumping approach

• Use R function facet_wrap() from the R package ggplot2 for panels in dose-response plot

• New function dotplot() to produce a dot plot showing the dose distribution

• R packages dplyr, tidyr and ggh4x added to Imports

• R packages grid, gridExtra and rlang removed from Imports

Bug fixes

• netdose():
  • remove test statistic for difference in goodness of fit between standard and dose-response network meta-analysis model
• predict.netdose():
  • calculate correct predictions for restricted cubic splines
• plot.netdose():
  • study results were not printed in some networks

User-visible changes

• plot.netdose():
  • new defaults for arguments ‘benchmark.threshold’ and ‘plateau.threshold’
  • new arguments ‘col.line’, ‘col.bmdl’ and ‘col.med’ to change the colour of dose-response curves and other information
  • new argument ‘legend’ to suppress printing of legend
  • argument ‘same.ylim’ removed (instead use same y-limits in panels if argument ‘ylim’ is not NULL)

Internal changes

• netdose():
  • list elements ‘Q.diff’, ‘df.Q.diff’ and ‘pval.Q.diff’ removed
  • list elements ‘Q.dose’, ‘df.Q.dose’ and ‘pval.Q.dose’ renamed to ‘Q’, ‘df.Q’ and ‘pval.Q’
  • list elements ‘Q.standard’, ‘df.Q.standard’ and ‘pval.Q.standard’ renamed to ‘Q.lump’, ‘df.Q.lump’ and ‘pval.Q.lump’
  • new list elements ‘Q.split’, ‘df.Q.split’ and ‘pval.Q.split’
  • rename list element ‘Xd’ to ‘X.matrix’
  • new list element ‘B.matrix’
  • new list element ‘D_obs.matrix’ with the observed doses
  • new list element ‘D.matrix’ with the transformed doses
