Subject: [R-meta] rma.mv predict() with newmods

Dear Wolfgang and the Metafor community,


I?m running in the same problem Cesar Terrer Moreno ran into a while ago without response (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-meta-analysis/2018-February/000582.html). When running the predict(newmods) function on my rma.mv model, I get the error "Multiple matches for the same variable name.? I?ve tried 2 different ways, and also tried looking at the function code on Github, in vain.

# My model based on a dataset of 3941 rows:
# ML_intRate_TiQ2 = rma.mv(yi, vi, method = 'ML', struct="UN", sparse=TRUE, data=dat, # mods = ~ classOR:totalN + classMR:totalN + classMR:classOR:totalN + classOR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:classOR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:classOR:time:totalN + cropSys + idF, # random = list(~1|ref, ~1|idRow, ~ treatment|idSite, ~ treatment|idSite.time))
# where
# classOR ?> "zero" "one" "two" "three" "four" "Manure"
# classMR ?> "0" ?1"
# totalN ?> numerical value ranging [0:720]
# time ?> numerical value ranging [0:26]
# First level of cropSys = ?biomass'
# First level of idF = ?NPK?
# treatment ?> "Control" "MR" "OR" "ORMR"

# 1. First method X <- expand.grid(totalN = 0:250 , classOR = levels(dtRMA$classOR) , classMR = levels(dtRMA$classMR) # , time = 0:26 , cropSys = levels(dtRMA$cropSys)[1] , idF = levels(dtRMA$idF)[1]) predict(MOD, newmods = X, tau2.levels = c('Control', 'OR', 'MR', 'ORMR'), gamma2.levels = c('Control', 'OR', 'MR', 'ORMR'))
# 2. Second method X <- model.matrix(~ classOR:totalN + classMR:totalN + classMR:classOR:totalN + classOR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:classOR:I(totalN^2) + classMR:classOR:time:totalN + cropSys + idF, data=dtRMA_rate) predict(MOD, newmods = X, tau2.levels = c('Control', 'OR', 'MR', 'ORMR'), gamma2.levels = c('Control', 'OR', 'MR', 'ORMR'))


Looking forward to some feedback!
