[R-meta] Checking for Multi-Collinearity with continuous and categorial predictors
Dear Wolfgang,
first of all, thank you for your reply!
If I follow your description, I get the following error:
Error in x$terms %||% attr(x, "terms") %||% stop("no terms component nor attribute") :
no terms component nor attribute
In addition: Warning message:
In vif.default(res2) : No intercept: vifs may not be sensible.
Is there a way to fix this?
I would really appreciate your help!
Thank you so much in advance.
Best,
Wilma

You can do this with metafor::vif(). After fitting a meta-regression model, you can use the vif() function to obtain variance inflation factors to indicate the degree of multicollinearity of the predictors. The predictors can be both continuous and categorical, so this works just fine. See here for the documentation (and examples): https://wviechtb.github.io/metafor/reference/vif.html Best, Wolfgang >-----Original Message----- >From: R-sig-meta-analysis [mailto:r-sig-meta-analysis-bounces at r-project.org] On >Behalf Of Wilma Charlott Theilig via R-sig-meta-analysis >Sent: Saturday, 02 September, 2023 11:29 >To: r-sig-meta-analysis at r-project.org >Cc: Wilma Charlott Theilig >Subject: [R-meta] Checking for Multi-Collinearity with continuous and categorial >predictors > >Hi all, > >I wanted to ask if it is possible to check both continuous and categorical >predictors for multi-collinearity at the same time (in one analysis, so to speak) >and how I can implement this in R. > >If anyone can help me in this regard, I would be very pleased! > >Kind regards > >Wilma
