MAIVE 0.0.4

Initial CRAN submission

• Implemented MAIVE (Meta-Analysis Instrumental Variable Estimator) for addressing spurious precision in meta-analysis
• Core functions:
  • maive(): Main function implementing PET, PEESE, PET-PEESE, and Endogenous Kink (EK) methods
  • waive(): Robust extension with downweighting of spurious precision and outliers
• Features:
  • Instrumental variable approach using inverse sample sizes
  • Multiple weighting schemes (no weights, inverse-variance, MAIVE-adjusted, WAIVE)
  • Study-level correlation handling (fixed effects, clustering, or both)
  • Robust standard errors (CR0, CR1, CR2, wild bootstrap)
  • Anderson-Rubin confidence intervals for weak instruments
  • First-stage specification options (levels or log transformation)
  • Publication bias testing based on instrumented FAT
• Comprehensive test suite with 9 test files
• Documentation with examples and usage guidelines
