  <dc:title>Multivariate Network Meta-Analysis using Bayesian Methods</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package mvnma version 0.2-0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tools to conduct Bayesian multivariate network meta-analysis providing
 - the single correlation coefficient model by Efthimiou et al. (2015) &lt;doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxu030&gt;;
 - per-outcome treatment hierarchies using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), the probability of best value, or median (or mean) ranks (Salanti et al., 2011) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2010.03.016&gt;;
 - across-outcomes benefit-risk assessment using the VišeKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Rešenje (VIKOR) method (Opricovic &amp; Tzeng, 2004) &lt;doi:10.1016/S0377-2217(03)00020-1&gt;;
 - convergence checks using trace plots, density plots, or the R-hat statistic;
 - forest plots of treatment estimates, scatter plots of per-outcome rankings, Hasse diagrams (Carlsen &amp; Bruggemann, 2014) &lt;doi:10.1002/cem.2569&gt; to visualize the partial order of the treatments across all outcomes.</dc:description>
