    • Kernel density analysis (KDA)
  • Model-based methods (nimare.meta.cbma.model)
    • Bayesian hierarchical cluster process model (BHICP)
    • Hierarchical Poisson/Gamma random field model (HPGRF)
    • Spatial Bayesian latent factor regression (SBLFR)
    • Spatial binary regression (SBR)
• Image-based methods (nimare.meta.ibma)
  • Mixed effects general linear model (MFX-GLM)
  • Random effects general linear model (RFX-GLM)
  • Fixed effects general linear model (FFX-GLM)
