prostate {xmeta} | R Documentation |
Results from five randomized clinical trials published between 1988 and 2011
The data frame contains the following columns:
log-hazard ratio estimates comparing combined therapy using Goserelin acetate with radiotherapy with respect to overall survival
within-study standard error for outcome 1
log-hazard ratio estimates comparing combined therapy using Goserelin acetate with radiotherapy with respect to disease-free survival
within-study stamdard error for outcome 2
The dataset prostate
is used to conduct bivariate random-effects meta-analysis when the within-study correlations are unknown.
