[R-meta] Questions about model averaging with complex multilevel meta-analytic model

Happy to hear that. Please follow instructions carefully and don't just skip parts of the code.

I suspect dredge() is trying to fit a very large number of models. This could take a very long time. To figure out how many models there are, you can run:

res <- dredge(full_mod, evaluate=FALSE)
length(res)

If you then still want to go through with this, you might need to consider using parallelization (if you have access to a workstation with many cores or a cluster) as described here:
