title: 'metagroup: Meaningful Grouping of Studies in Meta-Analysis'
version: 1.0.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.metagroup
abstract: Performs meaningful subgrouping in a meta-analysis. This is a two-step process;
  first, use the iterative grouping functions (e.g., mgbin(), mgcont() ) to partition
  studies into statistically homogeneous clusters based on their effect size data.
  Second, use the meaning() function to analyze these new subgroups and understand
  their composition based on study-level characteristics (e.g., country, setting).
  This approach helps to uncover hidden structures in meta-analytic data and provide
  a deeper interpretation of heterogeneity.
