Hi Torsten,

A couple of days ago, I sent a summary to the FTP team and the WNPP bug, but
forgot to CC the Debian Med packaging team.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557199#12

According to the documentation (available online at
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/epiR/epiR.pdf), here are the
sources of each three objects:

combining results from several studies in meta-analysis. In: Egger M, Davey Smith G, Altman
D (eds). Systematic Review in Health Care Meta-Analysis in Context. British Medical Journal,
London, pp. 291 - 299.


epi.incin.RData:

Conlon and Louis (1999), Stern and Cressie (1999), and Carlin and Louis (2000, p 270).
