cochran.Q(x, weights)
x |
numeric, typically a vector of effect sizes like (log-)OR |

numeric, see Details |
In fixed effects settings the weights are often inverse proportional to the variances of the primary studies. Cochran's Q is known to have low power to detect heterogeneity.
A named vector of length 3. First element is Q
followed by the p-value
