Q-test to assess compatibility between original and replication effect estimate

Description

Computes p-value from meta-analytic Q-test to assess compatibility between original and replication effect estimate.

Usage

Qtest(thetao, thetar, seo, ser)

Arguments

thetao	Numeric vector of effect estimates from original studies.
thetar	Numeric vector of effect estimates from replication studies.
seo	Numeric vector of standard errors of the original effect estimates.
ser	Numeric vector of standard errors of the replication effect estimates.

Details

This function computes the p-value from a meta-analytic Q-test assessing compatibility between original and replication effect estimate. Rejecting compatibility when the p-value is smaller than alpha is equivalent with rejecting compatibility based on a (1 - alpha) prediction interval.

Value

p-value from Q-test.
