similar to: Meta-Analyisis on Correlations

Dear R community, I'm using the ,metafor'-package by Wolfgang Viechtbauer (Version: 0.5-5) to calculate random-effects meta-analyses using Correlations and Sample Sizes as the raw data. (By the way: Really a nice piece of work, Wolfgang! Thanks heaps.) I specified the "rma.uni' function so that it looks like this: MAergebnis<-rma.uni(ri=PosOutc, ni=N,

Dear Sir or Madam, I am trying to plot forest plot. I extracted odds ratio and their corresponding 95% confidence interval from papers, then I calculated the log(OR) and standard error using the following command OR<-metagen(logOR,selogOR,sm="OR") forest(OR,comb.fixed=TRUE,comb.random=TRUE,digits=2) However, it does not produce a forest plot. Can someone kindly help? Thank

Hello! I have some data stored into 2 separate csv file. 1 file (called A.csv) (12 results named Group1, Group2, Group3, etc...) odds ratios, 2 file (called B.csv) 12 corresponded errors. How to import that data into R and make forest plot like I saw inside help file Rmeta and meta with included different font colors and names trough X and Y axis. I know for meta libb ... out <-

Hi everyone, I want to use the Fisher r-to-z transformation as part of a hypothesis test of r. I can't find an R function that can do that.

Version 2.0-0 of meta (an R package for meta-analysis) is now available on CRAN. Changes are described below. Yours, Guido Major revision R package meta linked to R package metafor by Wolfgang Viechtbauer to provide additional statistical methods, e.g. meta-regression and other estimates for tau-squared (REML, ...) New functions: - metareg (meta-regression) - metabias

Does anyone know which package include the computation of Cochran’s Q statistic in R? jlfmssm [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-community, I'm struggling with a paper that reports only fragmented results of a 2by2by3 experimental design. However, Means and SDs for all cells are given. Does anyone know a package/function that helps computing an ANOVA with only Means and SDs as input (resulting in some sort of effect size and significance test)? The reason why I'm interested is simple: I'm conducting a

Hi, I want to fit some psychophysical data with cumulative gaussians. There is quite a convenient toolbox for matlab called 'psignifit' (formerly known as 'psychofit'). It allows the lower bound of the sigmoid to vary slightly from zero, aswell as the upper bound to vary from one. with these two free parameters, the fitted function is less sensitive to noisy data and outliers.

Dear R-Listers, to measure the psychometric curve of pitch discrimination, one sequentially presents two tones of slightly different pitch to an observer (animal will do), and asks "which is higher". The pschometric curve is the fraction of correct responses plotted against the pitch difference. It passes through 50% (pure guessing) at zero and normally approaches 100% at large

Dear R-Experts, I was wondering how to fit a cumulative gaussian to a set of empirical data using R. On the R website as well as in the mail archives, I found a lot of help on how to fit a normal density function to empirical data, but unfortunately no advice on how to obtain reasonable estimates of m and sd for a gaussian ogive function. Specifically, I have data from a psychometric function

Hi, What package would you recommend for analyzing the validity/reliability of multiple choice tests. Doing things such as classical test analysis, factor analysis, item response theory. I've used psychometric (item.exam), MiscPsycho (alpha.Summary), and ltm (rcor.test). MiscPsycho reported the numbers most similar to what I get in SPSS: corrected point biserial correlations,

Dear list, has anyone written a package/function in R for computing a point- biserial resp. biserial correlation? Thanks in advance Bernd

Please can someone advise me how I can adjust correlations using bonferroni's correction? I am doing manny correlation tests as part of an investigation of the validity/reliability of a psychometric measure. Help would be so appreciated! Cheers, Louise

Hi, In my 1.2 setup I have pop3 running on ip x.x.x.2 and imap on x.x.x.7 In 2.0 how do I say listen x.x.x.2:110 x.x.x.7:143 so that pop3 is not listening on the .7 ip? I tried putting a listen = ip in the listener section but it complained. I cant figure it out and cant seem to find any 2.0 specific documentation, trying to search in the wiki directory of /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/wiki but

Dear users, In my psychometric test i have applied logistic regression on my data. My data consists of 50 predictors (22 continuous and 28 categorical) plus a binary response. Using glm(), stepAIC() i didn't get satisfactory result as misclassification rate is too high. I think categorical variables are responsible for this debacle. Some of them have more than 6 level (one has 10 level).

Dear all, Is anybody knows simple method for creation norm tables for psychological tests for several groups distinguished by sex and age? best regards, Krzysztof

Hi Everyone, I've got a question about data representation. I have some psychometric data with 5 scores for 15 different groups. I've been asked to show some kind of mean plots. The data below is the mean and SD for a given group, unfortunately my employer doesn't want me posting full datasets. :( The groups V,W,X,Y,Z are divided into Bottom, (B), Middle (M) and Top (T). An
