Package: searchAnalyzeR 0.1.0

searchAnalyzeR: Advanced Analytics and Testing Framework for Systematic Review Search Strategies

Provides comprehensive analytics, reporting, and testing capabilities for systematic review search strategies. The package focuses on validating search performance, generating standardized 'PRISMA'-compliant reports, and ensuring reproducibility in evidence synthesis. Features include precision-recall analysis, cross-database performance comparison, benchmark validation against gold standards, sensitivity analysis, temporal coverage assessment, automated report generation, and statistical comparison of search strategies. Supports multiple export formats including 'CSV', 'Excel', 'RIS', 'BibTeX', and 'EndNote'. Includes tools for duplicate detection, search strategy optimization, cross-validation frameworks, meta-analysis of benchmark results, power analysis for study design, and reproducibility package creation. Optionally connects to 'PubMed' for direct database searching and real-time strategy comparison using the 'E-utilities' 'API'. Enhanced with bootstrap comparison methods, 'McNemar' test for strategy evaluation, and comprehensive visualization tools for performance assessment. Methods based on Manning et al. (2008) for information retrieval metrics, Moher et al. (2009) for 'PRISMA' guidelines, and Sampson et al. (2006) for systematic review search methodology.
