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.
