Meta-Analysis of Hidden Populations Prevalence Studies
14 December, 2020
This document describes a strategy to:
- simulate study level analysis by generating network data, implementing different sampling schemes, and implementing different procedures for estimating the size of hidden populations
- simulate a meta-analysis that uses outputs from individual studies to estimate “meta-estimands”
Methods:
- We introduce and use an
R
packagehiddenmeta
that gathers together various tools for these tasks. - The overall simulations are done using the DeclareDesign suite of packages.
