"Prior distributions for variance parameters in a sparse-event meta-analysis of a few small trials" simulation datasets and code

The data were derived through simulation based on the article "Prior distributions for variance parameters in a sparse-event meta-analysis of a few small trials" . The following variables are included in the dataset. The first are parameters that control the simulation "pControl" "samples" "truetheta" "nsim" "truetau2" "nstud" "prior" "priorlogOR" "Likelihood" The following are measures that are presented within the manuscript "logOR" "sdlogOR" "logOR025" "logOR500" "logOR975" "FlogOR" "sdFlogOR" "FlogOR025" "FlogOR500" "FlogOR975" "tau2" "sdtau2" "tau2025" "tau2500" "tau2975" The last variables are auxiliary variables that were used for clarifications and describe the number of zero arms, double zero arms in the individual trials and in the meta-analysis."Zeroarms" "DoubleZeroArms" "ZeroArmsMA" "DZArmsMA"Datafile Resulstau01.rdata contains the initial results with the model mentioned in the discussion applied. See upcoming article.Datafile Resultstau_REV.rdata contains the revised simulation with the model 1 applied. See upcoming article.The file Priors.R contains the main routine to estimate the parameters of the simulation.
