The package dosresmeta consists of a collection of functions to estimate dose-response relations from summarized dose-response data for both continuous and binary outcomes, and to combine them according to principles of (multivariate) random-effects model. The methodology is illustrated in the referenced article.

The package is available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN), with info at the related web page (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=dosresmeta). A development website is available on GitHub (https://github.com/alecri/dosresmeta).

For a short summary of the package, refer to the main help page by typing:

help("dosresmeta-package")

in R after installation (see below).

The last version officially released on CRAN can be installed directly within R by typing:

install.packages("dosresmeta")

A version still under developement is avaiable on GitHub and can be installed by typing:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("alecri/dosresmeta")

Several peer-reviewed articles and documents provide R code illustrating methodological developments or replicating substantive results. An updated version of the code can be found at the GitHub (https://github.com/alecri) or personal web page (https://alecri.github.io/software/dosresmeta.html) of the package maintainer.
