similar to: (Slight) calculation discrepancy in escalc (metafor package)

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

Hi, I have been looking for an R package which allowed to do meta-analysis (both pairwise and network/mixed-treatment) at arm-level rather than at trial-level, the latter being the common way in which meta-analysis is done. By arm-level meta-analysis I mean one that accounts for data provided at the level of the individual arms of each trial and that does not simply derive the difference between

?Dear All I have some data expressed in geometric means and 95% confidence intervals. Can I code them in metafor as: rma(m1i=geometric mean 1, m2i=geometric mean 2, sd1i=geometric mean 1 CI /3.92, sd2i=geometric mean 2 CI/3.92.......etc, measure="MD") All of the studies use geometric means. Thanks! Edward ---------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am very grateful that Wolfgang Viechtbauer implemented the standardised mean change for dependent groups. I was playing around a bit today, and I am not sure if I understand the "SMCR" procedure correctly. The documentation states that sd1i and sd2i are needed, but it seems to me that SMCR is ignoring sd2i (so Variances are not pooled). Instead, it uses sd1i (pre-test sd),

Dear users of metafor, I am working on a meta-analysis using the metafor package. I have a excel csv database that I am working with. I am interested in pooling the effect measures for a particular subgroup (European women) in this csv database. I am conducting both sub-group and meta-regression. In subgroup-analyses, I have stratified the database to create a separate csv file just for European

Dear R Users, Do you know of an existing function that allows the production of sensitivity and specificity forest plots? See the following for an example:

I have data that looks like this: > df1 group id 1 red A 2 red B 3 red C 4 blue D 5 blue E 6 blue F I want a list of the groups containing vectors with the ids. I am avoiding subset(), as it is only recommended for interactive use. Here's what I have so far: df1 <- data.frame(group=c("red", "red", "red", "blue",

> It seems that the main advantage of your proposal is that it would allow for non-constant strides (i.e. variable length arrays) in dimensions other than the first one. Do these appear frequently enough in the programs that you're interested in to be worth optimizing for? Yes - at least in Chapel (which is one of the motivating languages) these are very common. In other words, typical

Hello, Is it possible to have two meta-plots in one graph (not par(mfrow=c(2,1))? But somthing like  library(metafor)  library("igraph")    if (interactive()) {     forest(dat.Treat$RR, ci.lb=dat.Treat$lower, ci.ub=dat.Treat$upper, xlab="Relative Risk",slab=dat.Treat$ID,refline=1)     forest(dat.Control$RR, ci.lb=dat.Control$lower, ci.ub=dat.Control$upper, xlab="Relative

Hello, We would like to begin discussions around a new set of intrinsics, to better express multi-dimensional array indexing within LLVM. The motivations and a possible design are sketched out below. Rendered RFC link here <https://github.com/bollu/llvm-multidim-array-indexing-proposal/blob/master/RFC.md> Raw markdown: # Introducing a new multidimensional array indexing intrinsic ## The

We could also simply extend the existing inrange mechanism to non-constantexpr GEPs.  It would remove an inconsistency in the semantics, be relatively straight forward, and solve the motivating example. (I didn't read the proposal in full, so there may be other examples it doesn't solve.) Philip On 7/22/19 10:01 AM, Peter Collingbourne via llvm-dev wrote: > The restrictions of

Dear Dushanthi, Please keep your e-mails on the R-Help list, where Michael has already given you some excellent advice. As Michael already explained, metafor can handle proportions, but does not have any specific functionality for categorical variables with more than 2 levels (at the moment). So, if it is logical and possible to do so, you could collapse the levels of the categorical outcome to 2

Hi Dr. Viechtbauer, I'm doing meta-analysis using your package 'metafor'. I used the 'IRFT' to transform the incident rate. But when I tried to back-transform the summary estimates from function rma, I don't know what's the appropriate ti to feed in function transf.iirft. I searched and found your post about using harmonic mean for ni to back-transform the double

Hi all, I was conducting a meta-analysis of single proportions(i.e. without a control group) using the metafor package. When I performed a classic fail-safe N, I noticed that the result (the number of missing studies that would bring p-value to the alpha, to be exact)was different than that I got in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 2.0. I wonder why R and CMA got different results. *Below is

Dear all, I am using R version 2.15.0 and 'metafor' package version 1.6-0. Can this version of the package handle proportions from a categorical dependent variable for single studies?If so how do I set up my dataframe for the raw data from different studies? Also how do I give inputs, specially xi, mi (or ni) to the function escalc()? Thanks,Dushanthi [[alternative HTML

I would suggest to post this to the (recently created) R-sig-meta-analysis mailing list.

Hi, I am a student using R for my final year project, with the metafor package being particularly helpful. I have been following the steps laid out in the manual 'Conducting Meta-analysis in R with the Metafor package' (Viechtbauer, 2010) and applying it to my own data of infected Anopheles mosquitoes across Africa. In particular, I am attempting to apply a mixed-effect model to my data

Dear Sir or Madam, I am trying to explore the citation bias by perfroming meta-analysis. I need to plot a forest plot on some other proportions other than the usual effect size OR,RR, RD. I still do not have any idea after searching google and reading relevant books. Can anyone kindly help? Thank you in advance. Best wishes weiwei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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
