Dear all,
I have a question regarding the rma.mv function.
Some QM tests (test of moderation) are not significant. However, I continued to investigate both levels of the moderator regardless by removing the intercept (i.e with placing a -1 at the end)
How sensible is this and what kind of conclusions can I draw when both levels (after removing the intercept) produce significant results. I understand I can?t draw any overall conclusions for the a priori hypotheses, considering the test of moderation was not significant - but generally, I wonder, whether it is ?ok? to report this - or whether it is simply wrong to continue with any analysis if the QM test is not significant.
Many thanks for clarifying.
Kind regards,
Tina Dudenh?ffer
