blme optimizer warnings

A while ago, I looked at this article and replicated the results with metafor.

library(metafor)

meta$Variance <- 1/meta$Precision

res <- rma.mv(g, Variance, random = list(~ 1 | Study/Outcome, ~ 1 | Subscale), data=meta)
res

The variances given in the article are quite heavily rounded and one value is even given as 0. With meta$Variance <- 1/meta$Precision, we can recreate the variances to avoid this issue.

Best,
Wolfgang
