Bootstrap network meta-analysis — bootstrap_network

Performs one study-level bootstrap resample and refits network_meta. All rows from sampled studies are retained together. When a study is sampled more than once, copied study IDs are relabeled so the replicated blocks are treated as independent bootstrap studies.

Usage

bootstrap_network_meta(
  data,
  study_id,
  treatment_1,
  treatment_2,
  effect,
  variance,
  on_error = c("warn", "stop", "keep"),
  ...
)

Arguments

data: A contrast-level network meta-analysis data frame.
study_id: Character string naming the study ID column.
treatment_1: Character string naming the first treatment column.
treatment_2: Character string naming the second treatment column.
effect: Character string naming the effect-size column.
variance: Character string naming the sampling-variance column.
on_error: How fitting errors should be handled. "warn" returns an error object with a warning, "keep" returns the error object silently, and "stop" throws the fitting error.
...: Additional arguments passed to network_meta.

Value

A fitted "nma_mars" object, or an "nma_resample_error" object when on_error is "warn" or "keep" and fitting fails.
