\details{
landenberger and lipsey (2005) conducted a meta-analysis of 58 experimental and quasi-experimental studies of the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) on the recidivism rates of adult and juvenile offenders (see also lipsey et al., 2007). the present dataset includes the results of these studies and a range of potential moderator variables to identify factors associated with variation in treatment effects.

\examples{
### copy data into 'dat' and examine data
dat <- dat.landenberger2005
head(dat)
\dontrun{
### load metafor package
library(metafor)
### calculate log odds ratios (for non-recidivism in cbt vs. control groups) and sampling variances
dat <- escalc(measure="or", ai=n.cbt.non, bi=n.cbt.rec, ci=n.ctrl.non, di=n.ctrl.rec, data=dat)
### fit random-effects model
res <- rma(yi, vi, data=dat)
res
### estimated average or and corresponding 95\% ci/pi
predict(res, transf=exp, digits=2)
### examine if number of treatment sessions per week is a potential moderator
res <- rma(yi, vi, mods = ~ sessions, data=dat)
res
### predicted ors for 1, 2, 5, or 10 sessions per week
predict(res, newmods=c(1,2,5,10), transf=exp, digits=2)
