vcmeta v1.6.0 (Release date: 2026/04/09)

Changes:

• New functions: replicate.meanratio2, replicate.meanratio.ps, replicate.pbcor, and se.median
• Most function descriptions in the Reference Manual now refer to a specific section in the Bonett (2021) online text for additional details
• More examples have been added to the Reference Manual
• replicate.oddsratio returns ‘exp(Estimate)’ column
• replicate.propratio2 has revamped output

vcmeta v1.5.0 (Release date: 2025/09/01)

Changes:

• New functions: se.propratio2, se.propratio.ps, se.agree, meta.ave.gen.log, replicate.agree, and replicate.cronbach
• The meta.ave.fisher function has now been deleted – use meta.ave.cor.gen
• se.semipartial has been renamed se.semipart, se.odds has been renamed se.oddsratio, meta.ave.odds has been renamed meta.ave.oddsratio, meta.lc.odds has been renamed meta.lc.oddsratio, meta.lm.odds has been renamed meta.lm.oddsratio, and replicate.ratio.prop2 has been renamed replicate.propratio2
• The se.prop2 and se.prop.ps now use an adjustment that is optimized for the number of studies in the meta-analysis – note this is a breaking change, where a parameter for the number of studies must now be passed.

vcmeta v1.4.0 (Release date: 2024/07/04)

Changes:

• New functions: se.bscor, meta.ave.cor.gen, and replicate.cor.gen
• The standard error for a standardized mean difference with a weighted variance standardizer in the meta.ave.stdmean2, meta.lc.stdmean2, meta.lm.stdmean2, and se.stdmean2 functions no longer assumes equal variances
• The replicate.stdmean2 and replicate.stdmean.ps functions now have options for additional standardizers – note this is a breaking change, where a parameter for the standardizer must now be passed.

vcmeta v1.3.0 (Release date: 2024/03/04)

Changes:

• New functions: se.cohen, replicate.ratio.prop2, replicate.prop.ps, table.from.odds, table.from.phi, meta.sub.gen
• The ci.fisher function has been renamed meta.ave.fisher
• Corrected output error in meta.ave.gen.rc function when bystudy = FALSE
• cor.from.t now returns a 1x1 matrix with column ‘Estimate’

vcmeta v1.2.0 (Release date: 2023/06/26)

Changes:

• New functions: se.ave.mean2.dep, se.ave.cor.over, se.ave.cor.nonover, se.tetra, se.biphi, replicate.spear, replicate.mean1, replicate.prop1, stdmean2.from.t
• Corrected the displayed standard errors in replicate.cor

vcmeta v1.1.0 (Release date: 2022/06/30)

Changes:

• Updated documentation for several functions
• New functions for standard errors: se.prop2, se.prop.ps
• New function for chi-square test of homegeniety: meta.chitest
• New function for confidence interval for an average variance: meta.ave.var
• New functions for replication studies: replicate.prop2, replicate.oddsratio, replicate.slope
• For consistency, updated parameter names in the following functions:
  • meta.lm.cronbach now takes (alpha, n, rel, r, X) rather than (alpha, n, rel, q, X)
  • se.cor now takes (cor, s, n) rather than (cor, q, n)
  • meta.sub.cronbach now takes (alpha, n, rel, r, group) rather than (alpha, n, rel, q, group)
  • meta.ave.cronbach now takes (alpha, n, rel, r, bystudy) rather than (alpha, n, rel, q, bystudy)

vcmeta 1.0.0 (Release date: 2021/08/21)

Changes:

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
