Dear, I want to perform a meta-analysis for some studies with the interest lies in incidence rates. Many of them, the data on the number of positive cases and person-time are available. However, I have one study where...

Dear, I want to plot an rma object using the forest() function in the metafor package. Here is a reproducible code to run it (please see the attachment). [image: axis.png] The problem is the x-axis does not scale...

Hi Wolfgang, I looked back to the paper, there they used Poisson regression with analytic weights, offsets, and robust variance estimation to implement the extrapolation and standardization procedures for estimating seasonal incidence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). I will need...

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks a lot for your clear response. I totally agree that the information on the degree of overlapping is not commonly reported. I will take a look at the cluster-robust inference you mentioned. Best, Thao On Thu...

Hey Michael, It is indeed a plot on the log-scale. However, I did transform the values back to the original scale using atransf = exp. It is quite intuitive to see the 95% CI on the linear scale so the...

Thanks, Wolfgang. I will play around with it to see if I can come up with things that I want to do. A big thank you for your great support. Thao. On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 11:47 AM...
