stders

standard errors corresponding to betas

Value

Forest plot of effect sizes and standard errors

Examples

# Generate effects
library(mvtnorm)
library(clusterGeneration )

n = 4
Sigma = cov2cor(genPositiveDefMat(n)$Sigma)
beta = t(rmvnorm(1, rep(0, n), Sigma))
stders = rep(.1, n)  

# set names
rownames(Sigma) = colnames(Sigma) = LETTERS[1:n]
rownames(beta) = names(stders) = LETTERS[1:n]

# Run random effects meta-analysis,
# account for correlation
