Package: ltgsmd Title: Latent True-Score and Target-Population Anchored Geometric SMD Version: 0.2.3 Authors@R: person("Daiki", "Nakamura", , "nakamura@miyazaki-u.ac.jp", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-0625-6918")) Description: Implements the latent true-score and target-population anchored geometric standardized mean difference (LTG-SMD) framework for two-group effect-size analysis. Provides plug-in estimation, analytic delta-method confidence intervals using a sample fourth-moment plug-in, bias-corrected and bias-corrected-accelerated nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals with study x group stratification, denominator-sensitivity profiles, and multi-site meta-analytic wrappers. Includes denominator-diagnostic reporting, a pluggable reliability estimator interface, and an explicit interface for specifying the target reference distribution.
