RBesT: R Bayesian Evidence Synthesis Tools

Tool-set to support Bayesian evidence synthesis. This includes meta-analysis, (robust) prior derivation from historical data, operating characteristics and analysis (1 and 2 sample cases). Please refer to Weber et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i19> for details on applying this package while Neuenschwander et al. (2010) <doi:10.1177/1740774509356002> and Schmidli et al. (2014) <doi:10.1111/biom.12242> explain details on the methodology.
