Performs CACE (Complier Average Causal Effect analysis) on either a single study or meta-analysis of datasets with binary outcomes, using either complete or incomplete noncompliance information. Our package implements the Bayesian methods proposed in Zhou et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/biom.13028>, which introduces a Bayesian hierarchical model for estimating CACE in meta-analysis of clinical trials with noncompliance, and Zhou et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1900859>, with an application example on Epidural Analgesia.

Perform change points detection on univariate and multivariate time series according to the methods presented by Asael Fabian Martínez and Ramsés H. Mena (2014) <doi:10.1214/14-BA878> and Corradin, Danese and Ongaro (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2021.12.019>. It also clusters different types of time dependent data with common change points, see "Model-based clustering of time-dependent observations with common structural changes" (Corradin,Danese,KhudaBukhsh and Ongaro, 2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.09552> for details.

Combine diverse evidence across multiple studies to test a high level scientific theory. The methods can also be used as an alternative to a standard meta-analysis.

Tools for Bayesian copula generalized linear models (GLMs). 
             The sampling scheme is based on Pitt, Chan, and Kohn (2006) <doi:10.1093/biomet/93.3.537>. 
             Regression parameters (including coefficients and dispersion parameters) are
             estimated via the adaptive random walk Metropolis approach developed by
             Haario, Saksman, and Tamminen (1999) <doi:10.1007/s001800050022>.
             The prior for the correlation matrix is based on Hoff (2007) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS107>.

A set of functions to allow analysis of count data (such
        as faecal egg count data) using Bayesian MCMC methods.  Returns
        information on the possible values for mean count, coefficient
        of variation and zero inflation (true prevalence) present in
        the data.  A complete faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT)
        model is implemented, which returns inference on the true
        efficacy of the drug from the pre- and post-treatment data
        provided, using non-parametric bootstrapping as well as using
        Bayesian MCMC.  Functions to perform power analyses for faecal
        egg counts (including FECRT) are also provided.
