  <dc:title>Imputing Responder Proportions from Continuous Outcomes</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package respondeR version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Express meta-analyses of continuous trial outcomes in terms of
    responder risks, following the interpretability tutorial of Thorlund,
    Walter, Johnston, Furukawa and Guyatt (2011) &lt;doi:10.1002/jrsm.46&gt;. Given
    the mean change, standard deviation and sample size per arm across studies,
    respondeR estimates the proportion of patients who cross a minimal important
    difference (MID) threshold under a parametric model for the change scores,
    and contrasts the arms as a risk difference, risk ratio, odds ratio or
    number needed to treat. It provides median, unweighted-mean, weighted-mean
    and per-study (fixed- or random-effects) pooling, the
    standardized-mean-difference to odds-ratio bridge of Anzures-Cabrera,
    Sarpatwari and Higgins (2011) &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.4298&gt;, a threshold-free
    common-language effect size, and a point-and-click 'Shiny' application. The
    estimation methods were evaluated in a simulation study by Sofi-Mahmudi
