SAS code for {multinma} for multi-level network meta-regression

[cahr]

What is in SAS the best way based on R packages or methodologies.to find corresponding (template) SAS code? 

E.g. In R there exist a package {multinma} for multi-level network meta-regression

Does there exist corresponding SAS code? 

The above R-package is one example. I am looking more for a strategy (other than calling R from SAS) to approach this.

Or maybe @Rick_SAS could wrote one for you .

Ha-Ha, KSharp. Very funny. Even if I had experience with meta analysis and Stan and Bayesian computing, I don't have time to reimplement Phillioppe's 400-page PhD dissertation.

Hi Rick,
Hope I have time to implement this kind of meta-analysis .
If I have time ,I would take a look at the paper you posted . and hope I could understand this paper and have ability to make it happen by SAS .

Hi KSharp

I know that R has the package 'multinma' for performing network meta-analysis and network meta-regression with aggregate data, individual patient data, or mixture of both. But I have no experience with R.

So I hope that you have had time to implement multilevel network meta-regression by SAS as described in Phillippoetal paper. ?

Best regards

Performing network meta-analysis and network meta-regression with aggregate data, individual patient data, or mixture of both can be done using PROC MCMC in SAS.

Here are some multilevel network meta-analysis examples:

• SAS Viya 2023.11 -- SAS/STAT User's Guide
  The BGLIMM Procedure
  Example 31.7 Bayesian Networking Meta-analysis
  https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_045/statug/statug_bglimm_examples07.htm
• Bayesian Analyses Using SAS® -- Course Notes
  The majority of chapter 3 is on meta-analysis.
  (I cannot give you the course pdf unfortunately)

Doing meta-analysis with PROC MCMC is a very popular topic.

Sorry. I have no time go through all these paper and write sas code recently.
Maybe @Rick_SAS could have time and post a series of blogs about this topic in his BLOG .

Or PROC BGLLIM proposed by sbxkoenk is working for you ?
