[R] metaplot and meta.summaries

[Anne Katrin Heinrichs]

Hello,

After looking through the archive and documentation for quite some time, I'd be very happy
about some help with metaplot and meta.summaries.

metaplot:
---------

Can I change the label size? I've got 126 values and the intersection of the labels makes
it impossible to read them.

Why do I have to give sumse (Standard Error) and sumnn (Precision) of the summary
estimate? I can calculate one from the other, right? Just to make sure I'm not
misunderstanding something.

metaplot(CoeffVector, StdErrorVector, nn=NULL, labels=Name, conf.level=0.95, 
xlab=paste(CoeffNames[j], CoefficientName[i]), 
ylab="Countries",
xlim=NULL, summn=PostCoeffs[1,j], sumse=sqrt(PostVars[1,j]), 
sumnn=1/(PostVars[1,j]), 
summlabel="Summary", 
lwd=2, boxsize=1)


meta.summaries
--------------

What does it mean, when I get the warning message that NaNs were produced in "pchisq(q,
df, lower.tail, log.p)"? Is there something wrong with my data (there are no NAs in the
data)?

MetaAnalyse <- meta.summaries(CoeffVector, 
					StdErrorVector, 
					method = "random")
