A comparison of arm‐based and contrast‐based models for network meta‐analysis
Abstract
Differences between arm‐based (AB) and contrast‐based (CB) models for network meta‐analysis (NMA) are controversial. We compare the CB model of Lu and Ades (2006), the AB model of Hong et al(2016), and two intermediate models, using hypothetical data and a selected real data set. Differences between models arise primarily from study intercepts being fixed effects in the Lu‐Ades model but random effects in the Hong model, and we identify four key...
