[R-meta] how to get vcalc from metafor - R-SIG-meta-analysis

Tue, Nov 16, 2021 4:37 AM #

Dear list members, 

I recently read a thread in which the vcalc() function from metafor was mentioned and I tried to use it, but Rstudio tells me it can't find the vcalc function. 

I tried re-installing metafor through the "install" button and then i used the following lines 

install.packages("remotes") 
remotes::install_github("wviechtb/metafor") 

but neither method made it work. 

Any advice please ? 

Best wishes, 
Norman.

Norman,

You find this function in the GitHub version of metafor, see

Best, Guido

Hi Guido, 

yes this is indeed where I found out what arguments to use, following the link Wolfgang gave in a previous thread. 

Best wishes, 
Norman.
