[R-meta] correct tau interpretation three-level meta-analysis
Hi, I'm conducting a meta-analysis using a three-level model because I have multiple effects within the same study. My model is something like this: ``` rma.mv(yi, vi, random = ~1|study/outcome) ``` My question is simply how to correctly interpret tau at the outcome level. The tau at the study level is basically the standard heterogeneity. The tau at the outcome level is the average variability within a cluster (study)? Thanks
