Software and other tools

Following items have been developed within the NCRM research programme:

 

EPPI-Reviewer by MRS

EPPI-Reviewer is a web application that enables researchers to manage the entire lifecyle of a review in a single location. Users are able to upload studies for screening, complete keywording and data extractions and analyse the results over the internet. EPPI-Reviewer can be accessed through the MRS website.

 

MLwiN by LEMMA

MLwiN software package enables researchers to create a visual interface for multilevel modelling. These graphical interfaces allow the user easily to set up, fit and manipulate models. There are windows for data manipulation, plotting, viewing the progress of iterations etc. Predictions from fitted models can be specified directly using standard statistical notation with direct links to various kinds of derived graphs, which are automatically updated as model parameters change. More information and to download the software package please go to the LEMMA / Centre for Multilevel Modelling website.

 

R package ecoreg by BIAS

R is a language and environment for statistical computing, the most popular platform for new statistical algorithm development (see www.r-project.org). ecoreg fits a range of models for this form of ecological and individual data, using maximum likelihood estimation. Models with random area-level intercepts are supported, with likelihoods calculated using Gauss-Hermite integration. For more information please go to the BIAS website.

 

R package SAE by BIAS

R is a language and environment for statistical computing, the most popular platform for new statistical algorithm development (see www.r-project.org). This package is for Small Area Estimation using EBLUP estimators. For more information please go to the BIAS website.
