Hello Everyone,
I'm using the metafor::vec2mat() as shown in the toy example below.
However, I wonder how I should specify the order of the variables' names
defined in "dimnames=" when converting the vector of coefficients to a
correlation matrix using metafor::vec2mat()?
Is there generally a rule or a technique to order the variables' names
correctly in "vec2mat()", especially if there are many variable names?
Thanks,
Yuhang
# EXAMPLE:
tmp <- rcalc(ri ~ var1 + var2 | study, ni=ni, data=dat.craft2003)
V <- tmp$V
dat <- tmp$dat
res <- rma.mv(yi~ var1.var2 - 1, V,
random = ~ var1.var2| study, struct = "UN",
data=dat)
vec2mat(coef(res), dimnames= ??????)
