		Longitudinal Meta-Analysis with Robust Variance Estimation and
		Sensitivity Analysis // 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.
