robustSE | R Documentation |
When the correlation between dependent effect sizes are unknown, one approach is to conduct the meta-analysis by assuming that the effect sizes are independent. Then, Hedges et al. (2010) robust standard error procedure can be calculated to adjust for dependence.
robustSE(model, cluster=NULL, CI=.95, digits=3)
model |
omnibus or moderator model object fitted from mareg() function. |
cluster |
Name of variable where the dependencies are present. This will typically be the variable for study id where |
CI |
Confidence interval. Defaults to .95. |
digits |
Number of digits to output. Defaults to 3. |
estimate |
Meta-regression coefficient estimate. |
se |
Adjusted Standard error of the estimate coefficient. |
t |
t-value. |
ci.l |
Adjusted Lower 95% confidence interval. |
ci.u |
Adjusted Upper 95% confidence interval. |
p |
p-value. |
