funnel plot asymmetry

Hi, I am conducting a meta analysis of continuous data and I cant find the
code to curry out Egger?s test, for testing the funnel plot asymmetry.
#
The 'meta' and 'metafor' packages provide this. See also the meta-analysis task view: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/MetaAnalysis.html (especially: "Investigating small study bias").

Best,
Wolfgang

Maybe you should read it before using Egger's test : http://www.cienciasinseso.com/en/tag/eggers-test/If you still want to perform Egger's test, use metafor : R: Test for funnel plot asymmetry
