R help - Nov 2015 - MAc-package, on OS-X 10.11.1: Warning Message In sqrt(var.T.agg.tau) : NaNs produced

Maybe change the warnings to errors temporarily, and decide for yourself about
the problem.

...
R> options(warn=2)        # Turn warnings into errors
R> omni(es=z, var=var.z, data=dat, type="weighted",
method="fixed", ztor=TRUE)
R> traceback()

Subject: [R] MAc-pakcage,       on OS-X 10.11.1: Warning Message In
sqrt(var.T.agg.tau) : NaNs  produced

I am trying to run a mini meta-analysis for three studies within one of my
papers. I am using the Mac package for meta-analyzing correlation coefficients.

I am using the following command: omni(es = z, var = var.z, data = dat,
type="weighted", method = "fixed", ztor = TRUE)

This produces the expected values, but also a warning message: In
sqrt(var.T.agg.tau) : NaNs produced

This message is repeated twice.

I am wondering how to interpret this error message. Is this because the program
can?t estimate certain parameters due to the small number of correlation
coefficients I am trying to analyze (only 3)?

Most importantly, can I report and interpret the output despite those messages?
