If possible I would like to combine two different character arrays in combinations Array1 <- c("height","weight","age","sex") Array2 <- c("trt0","trt1","trt2") I would like to combine these two character vectors to end up with such ... Array3 "height.trt0.trt1" "height.trt0.trt2"

Kia ora list members: I'm having a little difficulty getting the correct standard errors from a glm.object (R 1.9.0 under Windows XP 5.1). predict() will gives standard errors of the predicted values, but I am wanting the standard errors of the mean. To clarify: Assume I have a 4x3x2 factorial with 2 complete replications (i.e. 48 observations, I've appended a dummy set of data at the

Dear R users; Ive got two questions concerning nlme library 3.1-65 (running on R 2.2.0 / Win XP Pro). The first one is related to augPred function. Ive been working with a nonlinear mixed model with no problems so far. However, when the parameters of the model are specified in terms of some other covariates, say treatment (i.e. phi1~trt1+trt2, etc) the augPred function give me the following

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

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

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, Everyone, I am sorry that my message got truncated. I resend it again as below: Hello, R Users, I have a list (say listexp) of 10,000 elements, each of which consists of a matrix (5X6).

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

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

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()

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

Hi I have tryed to do the meta-regression in metafor package, but I would like to get the standardized coefficients for each variable, however in command:   Ø  res<-rma.uni (yi, vi, method="REML", mods=~cota+DL+uso+gadiente+idade, data= turbidez)   I just have the coefficients no standardized (estimate) of the multiple regression. What I need to do? Thanks Fernanda Melo

Hello metafor users, I'm using metafor to perform a single-effect summary estimate of the raw proportion of patients experiencing a post-operative complication, and I'm interested in seeing if this proportion differs between the three most commonly used surgical techniques. The software is working as expected, but I would like to double check on the interpretation of my mixed-effect model

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

Dear all, I'm currently applying a mixed model approach to meta analysis using the package metafor. I use the "model.matrix()" function to create dummy variables. The option btt gives me the combined test for the dummies. Problem is, I don't know which indices I have to use, and can't really figure it out from the help file and the examples. I use following code : X <-

Dear Wolfgang Viechtbauer and R users, I have few questions regarding the development of the package 'metafor. As you suggested , I post to the R-help mailing list. I read you're planning an extension of this method to the multivariate case. I think it would be a useful tool. I'm currently performing some analyses with R on multiple outcomes, using the Stata command mvmeta to get

Hello all, I am using forest.rma to plot a random effects model meta-analysis. I noticed that refline sets a vertical line indicating the null hypothesis. Is there a way to draw another vertical line, possibly dashed, centered on the summary estimate? Prof. Viechtbauer, if you happen to read this, I'd like to thank you for making an excellent package. I have been using the metafor package

Hi, I have an experiment with 2 independant factors which I have been trying to analyse in R. The problem is that there are several data points recorded on the same animal. However, no combination of treatments is repeated on the same animal. All possible combinations of treatments are done in a random order with as many points as possible being done on 1 animal before moving onto the next. The

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
