abstract: Performs meta-analysis and meta-regression using standard and robust methods
  with confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood. Robust methods are based
  on alternative distributions for the random effect, either the t-distribution (Lee
  and Thompson, 2008 <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.2897> or Baker and Jackson, 2008
  <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10729-007-9041-8>) or mixtures of normals (Beath, 2014
  <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1114>).
