Dear R users, In metafor 1.6-0, the Mantel-Haenszel method is implemented by the rma.mh() function. I have observed that the sum of the weights computed by weights(x) doesn't add to 100% when x is an object of class rma.mh. The consequences of this fact can be clearly seen when a forest diagram is drawn with forest(x), which calls weights(x) (or more precisely, the method weights.rma.mh()

Hi, I would like to do a meta-analysis, i.e., a mixed-effects regression, but I don't seem to get what I want using both the nlme or metafor packages. My question: is there indeed no way to do it? And if so, is there another package I could use? Here are the details: In my meta-analysis I'm comparing different studies that report a measure at time zero and after a certain followup

Hi all, I am currently trying to compare different plant occurrence prediction maps generated in R and exported into GRASS. One of these maps was generated from a glm fitted to some data, and subsequently applying this glm model to a wider region using predict.glm. The outcome here was a probability of occurrence. The second map I generated using a gam (mgcv), however, this map seems to have

Dear list, I hope this is the right forum to ask. I have just downloaded and compiled R, but I get a segfault after I start R. make, make test/check, went OK. My system is linux-2.2.13 glibc-2.1.3 gcc 2.95.2 R-1.1.0 Here is a backtrace from gdb: (gdb) file /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin Reading symbols from /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin...done.

Dear all, how can I, with R, transform a presence-absence (0/1) matrix of species occurrences into a presence-only table (3 columns) with the names of the species (1st column), the lat information of the sites (2nd column) and the lon information of the sites (3rd column), as given in the below example? Thanks a lot for your help! Christian my dataframe: site lat lon spec1 spec2 spec3 spec4

Hi - I am conducting a meta-analysis and I have a matrix of f-statistics, Ns and dfs from a series of studies that tested for an interaction in a 2x2 anova. I'd like to test whether the 2x2 interaction is significant in the aggregate. Similarly, I have a matrix of chi-square statistics that I'd like to meta-analyze. How can I input these test statistics into the "metafor"

Hello, I once used the metawin software to perform a meta-analysis (see metawinsoft, Rosenberg et al.) and produced normal qqplot to test for a potential bias in the dataset. I now want to re-use the same dataset with the package metafor by W. Viechtbauer (great package btw). I run the qqnorm.rma.uni function. I use standardized effect sizes as in metawin. QQplot generated with metafor differs

I had found the author's (Wolfgang Viechtbauer) earlier meta-analytic code in R, MiMa, useful. so I have been exploring metafor using an example dataset from MiMa. metafor provides a lot more. However, MiMa provided parameter estimates, standard errors, z values, etc. for individual moderators in the meta-analysis, but I don't see how to obtain these from metafor. Have you any help

Hello, I experimented the Metafor and Meta packages in the scope of replacing Excel for meta-analysis. I performed the first working example provided in Michael Borenstein's book "Introduction to Meta-Analysis" with Excel, Metafor and Meta. The numbers given by my spreadsheet, which I validated from Borenstein's book, conrespond quite closely to those given by Meta, but

A new package is now available via CRAN, called metafor. The metafor package consists of a collection of functions for conducting meta-analyses in R. Fixed- and random-effects models (with and without moderators) can be fitted via the general linear (mixed-effects) model. For 2x2 table data, the Mantel-Haenszel and Peto's method are also implemented. The package also provides various plot

Greetings, I wish to conduct a meta-analysis for which the outcome is a continuous variable measured on the same individuals before and after an intervention. Hence, the comparison is not made between two groups, but within groups, at diffrent times. Each study reports the mean outcome and SD before the intervention and the mean outcome and SD after the intervention. While p-values for

Dear Metafor users, I''d like to test a model with 2 continuous and 2 categorical moderators in a meta regression. One categorical parameter has 2 levels and the other has 4 levels. If I understand correctly, when I include all moderators in the model, Metafor returns main effects of the continuous parameters and contrasts of each level of categorical moderators with the intercept (which

Dear Metafor users, I'm conducting a metaanalysis of prevalence of a particular behaviour based on someone elses' code. I've been labouring under the impression that this: summary(rma.1<-rma(yi,vi,mods=cbind(approxmeanage,interviewmethodcode),data=mal,method="DL",knha=F,weighted=F,intercept=T)) is doing the multivariate analysis that i want, but have read that

Hello, Is it possible to include information about phylogenetic relatedness among species (when species are replicates for each study within a meta-analysis) in a meta-anlaysis in the metafor package? Alternatively, I wonder if the method f Lajeunesse 2009 American Naturalist has been adopted in R in any fashion? Thanks, Scott Chamberlain [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, I'm using the metafor package to meta-analyze a set of proportions. This is working really well for the raw proportions, but is there a way to back-transform the arcsine transformed proportions in the rma or forest functions with the atransf option? The estimates and CIs for the transformed proportions need to be back-transformed to be the sin of the estimate squared.

Dear R-experts! I am working on some meta-analysis using the metafor package. I would like to extract values of the confidence intervals of the effect sizes of the single studies from an rma object. Those values are printed out when plotting a forest plot using the forest function on the rma object, however I was not able to locate them. Many thanks for your help! Jokel [[alternative HTML

Dear All, I'm having trouble tweaking a forest plot made using the R meta-analysis package metafor. I did the analysis based upon the correlation coeff from studies and plotted the corresponding forest plot easily > q2<-rma(yi,vi,mods=cbind(grupo),data=qim) > q2 > forest (q2,transf=transf.ztor,digits=3, ... ,alim=c(0,1),refline=.5) > text(-1.55,42,"Esp?cie

Hello, Great to see the new metafor package for meta-analysis. I would like to perform a meta-analysis in which I initially calculate the intercept of the model with a nested random-effects structure. In lme, this would be model<- lme(v3~1, random=~1|species/study, weights = varFixed(~Wt), method = "REML") where multiple effects sizes are measured for some studies and more than
