Blimp

Blimp was originally designed as a multiple imputation program, but the application now offers general-purpose Bayesian estimation for a wide range of single-level and multilevel regression models with two or three levels, with or without missing data. Algorithmic development by Craig Enders, Brian Keller, and Han Du. C++ programming by Brian Keller. Qt graphical user interface development by Brian Keller and Behrouz NematiPour.

R Packages and Functions

Boot.heterogeneity: A Bootstrap-Based Heterogeneity Test for Meta-Analysis

Implements a bootstrap-based heterogeneity test for standardized mean differences (d), Fisher-transformed Pearson’s correlations (r), and natural-logarithm-transformed odds ratio (or) in meta-analysis studies. Depending on the presence of moderators, this Monte Carlo based test can be implemented in the random- or mixed-effects model.
