Description: A comprehensive set of functions providing frequentist
        methods for network meta-analysis (Balduzzi et al., 2023)
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v106.i02> and supporting Schwarzer et al.
        (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-21416-0>, Chapter 8 "Network
        Meta-Analysis": - frequentist network meta-analysis following
        Rücker (2012) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1058>; - additive network
        meta-analysis for combinations of treatments (Rücker et al.,
        2020) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201800167>; - network meta-analysis of
        binary data using the Mantel-Haenszel or non-central
        hypergeometric distribution method (Efthimiou et al., 2019)

        using P-scores (frequentist analogue of SUCRAs without
        resampling) according to Rücker & Schwarzer (2015)

        evidence to check consistency (Dias et al., 2010)

        meta-analysis results; - 'comparison-adjusted' funnel plot
        (Chaimani & Salanti, 2012) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.57>; - net heat
        plot and design-based decomposition of Cochran's Q according to
        Krahn et al. (2013) <doi:10.1186/1471-2288-13-35>; - measures
        characterizing the flow of evidence between two treatments by
        König et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.6001>; - automated drawing
        of network graphs described in Rücker & Schwarzer (2016)
        <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1143>; - partial order of treatment rankings
        ('poset') and Hasse diagram for 'poset' (Carlsen & Bruggemann,
        2014) <doi:10.1002/cem.2569>; (Rücker & Schwarzer, 2017)
        <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1270>; - contribution matrix as described in
        Papakonstantinou et al. (2018)
