Description: Tools for longitudinal meta-analysis where studies
        contribute effect sizes at multiple follow-up time points.
        Implements robust variance estimation (RVE) with Tipton
        small-sample corrections following Hedges, Tipton, and Johnson
        (2010) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.5> and Tipton (2015)
        <doi:10.1037/met0000011>, time-varying sensitivity analysis via
        the Impact Threshold for a Confounding Variable (ITCV)
        following Frank (2000) <doi:10.1177/0049124100029002003>,
        benchmark calibration of the ITCV threshold against observed
        study-level covariates, spline-based nonlinear time-trend
        modeling with a nonlinearity test, and leave-k-out fragility
        analysis across the follow-up trajectory. Designed for
        researchers synthesising evidence from studies with repeated
        outcome measurement in education, psychology, health, and the
        social sciences.
