Subject: multi-level random effects meta-analysis: valid funnel plot & Egger's
test?
Dear Wolfgang and colleagues,
A query as my collaborators and I finalize a paper that fits a multi-level model
using the rma.mv function (with thanks to this list for advice on a post a few
months ago):
Are there recent developments in research on sensitivity tests for this type of
nested data structure, including valid funnel plot and Egger's test diagnostics?
Our search yielded this
post?(https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/155693/metafor-package-bias-and-
sensitivity-diagnostics) from 2015 that suggested the answer is "no", and we
haven't yet found any more?recent information on the topic. Advice is welcome -
and if such tests are not yet available, we'd be thankful for references to
published sources that note this.
With?thanks,
Jenny
