In lebebr01/metaRmat: Synthesis of Correlation Matrices

Fit meta analysis models with metafor

Description

This function is a wrapper that calls metafor to fit models.

Usage

fit_model(
  data,
  effect_size,
  var_cor,
  weights = NULL,
  moderators = NULL,
  random_params = NULL,
  structure = "UN",
  test = "z",
  intercept = FALSE,
  estimation_method = "REML",
  ...
)

Arguments

data	Raw data input
effect_size	A vector of observed effect sizes to be modeled with metafor. See rma.mv for more details.
var_cor	Variance covariance matrix of sampling errors or sampling weights passed on to metafor. See rma.mv for more details.
weights	Optional weights matrix passed to metafor. Default is NULL. See rma.mv for more details.
moderators	Moderators (covariates, predictors) to be included in the analysis with metafor. Default is NULL meaning no predictors. See rma.mv for more details.
random_params	Specification of the random effect structure. This argument takes the form a single sided formula. Default is NULL which means a fixed effects model will be fitted with metafor. See rma.mv for more details.
structure	The variance structure passed to metafor. Default is "CS" which represents compound symmetry. See rma.mv for more details.
test	What type of test statistic should be used. Default is a z-statistic. See rma.mv for more details.
intercept	Should an intercept be included in the metafor model. See rma.mv for more details.
estimation_method	Estimation method to pass on to metafor. Default is "REML". See rma.mv for more details.
...	Additional parameters passed to metafor. See rma.mv for more details.
