Description: Implements almost-exact inference for the
        DerSimonian-Laird test statistic in the normal-normal
        random-effects meta-analysis model, as described in Hanada and
        Sugimoto (2023) <doi:10.1007/s10463-022-00844-4>. The method
        approximates the distribution of the DerSimonian-Laird test
        statistic by combining the distribution of the untruncated
        DerSimonian-Laird estimator of the between-study variance with
        a conditional normal approximation. Methods based on a plug-in
        between-study variance and a corrected heterogeneity measure
        are provided.
