Subject: [R-meta] Publication bias in the context of subgroup analysis
Hello all,
I am carrying out a multi-level meta-analysis and I have a question regarding publication bias in the context of subgroup analysis.
I have noticed that many meta-regression models include a precision measure (SE or SE^2) in their final model along with covariates. Is the same true for subgroup analysis in a multi-level analysis wherein moderators are tested individually?
For example:
moderertorX <- rma.mv(yi, vi, mods = ~ SE + moderertorX, random = list(~ 1 | EffectSize_ID, ~1 | Study_ID), tdist=TRUE, data=data)
Thanks!
Daniel
