    for the mean_method argument.
  - Renamed the 'wan' option for the mean_method argument to
    'hozo/wan/bland'. Similarly, renamed the 'shi_normal' option for the

  - Added the metamean() function, which can apply several methods to
    estimate study-specific means and their standard errors in order to
    estimate the pooled (difference of) means
  - Added the cd() function, which applies the Confidence Distribution
    method of Ozturk and Balakrishnan (2020) to estimate the pooled
    median
  - Added the metamedian() function, which is a wrapper for the qe(),
    cd(), and pool.med() functions.
  - Added the describe_studies() function for performing descriptive
    analyses
  - Added the dat.age_raw, dat.age, dat.asat_raw, dat.asat, dat.ck_raw,

    for the internal qe.group.level() function
  - Fixed an error in the qe() function when data provided are of class
    “integer”
  - Made qe.fit() and print.qe.fit() defunct. These functions were moved
    to the ‘estmeansd’ package.
