Description: Computational tools for
        confidence-distribution-propagation-based inference in
        random-effects meta-analysis. Implements
        confidence-distribution propagation for frequentist inference
        in random-effects meta-analysis. The package samples the
        between-study variance from a confidence distribution based on
        the exact distribution of Cochran's Q, samples the average
        effect conditionally on each draw, and generates the true
        effect in a future study. It provides prediction intervals and
        confidence intervals for the average effect, between-study
        variance, between-study standard deviation, and I2. The methods
        are described in Noma and Schwarzer (2026).
