metaGLMM: Aggregate-Data Meta-Analysis with Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Extends traditional random-effects meta-analysis by embedding it within a generalized linear mixed-effects model framework. The package supports covariate adjustment and non-normal responses using aggregate data, and provides likelihood-based inference with computationally efficient likelihood evaluation. The underlying methodology is described in Hanada and Sugimoto (2026) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujag148>.
