Contains all data and script for the first MPT reanalysis (i.e., which contains between-subjects comparisons only) across several data sets.

Note: Some of the binary R files (usually saved as .RData) require R version 3.5.0 or greater (file names containing _OLD should work with older versions of R).

R Files

• combine_data.R: Combines all individual data files into one combined data file combined_results.RData
• fun_prep.R: Functions for preparing and combining the individual results files. Used by the data preparation scripts.
• fun_analysis.R: Functions for analysis.
• clean_data_files.R: Resaves all data files in data with high compression and removes data attributes which could hold the individual-level data such as no data should be part of this repository accidentally. Was run once before committing data, does not need to be run again.
• prepare_pairs_data.R: Combines the individual data files with the covariates and creates the main data set for the meta-analysis containing all pairs of estimates across methods.
• analyse_pairs.R and pairs_plot_code.R: Older files that do not contain currently used code (e.g., code used for presenting at previous meetings).

Folders

• docs: Contains the following html files that are produced by synonymous RMarkdown (.Rmd) files that can be directly accessed via the links:
  • dataset_overview.html: Provides an overview of all data sets and fitting methods per data set. Also comes with a pairwise-comparison of all core parameters.
  • prepared_pairs_data.html: Overview of data used for meta-analysis and all covariates.
  • univariate_relationships_with_abs_dev.html: Overview of univariate relationships of all covariates with the absolute deviation (i.e., first step of meta-analysis).
• data: Cleaned data from each subgroup. Some of the folders contain other files with further information.

Binary Data Files

• combined_results.RData: Contains combined results from all subgroups. Main object is dm.
• all_pairs_core.RData: All parameter pairs (i.e., comparison of group-level estimates across groups) with all covariates. Main data set for meta-analysis.
• all_pairs_core_full.RData: All parameter pairs (i.e., comparison of group-level estimates across groups) plus some additional columns and less structure.

Binary data files containing _OLD in the file name should be readable by R versions prior to R 3.5.0.
