[R-meta] Multiple use of the same control

[Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (SP)]

Dear Arne,

Are you allowing for correlation between the sampling errors over time?

See, for example:

Musekiwa, A., Manda, S. O., Mwambi, H. G., & Chen, D. G. (2016). Meta-analysis of effect sizes reported at multiple time points using general linear mixed model. PLOS ONE, 11(10), e0164898. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0164898

See also: help(dat.ishak2007) and help(dat.fine1993).

Best,
Wolfgang

Subject: [R-meta] Multiple use of the same control

Dear list members,

I have a similar problem as Lasse Bang ( Follow-up - Dependencies in 
data: multiple studies with overlapping sample sizes).

I want to do a meta-analysis of studies with  time series, often with 
time series of several treatments and one control time series. To 
include all the treatments in the analysis, I therefore need to use the 
same control time series several times. How can I correct for that?

I am using  rma.mv with time as one of the modulators and StudyID (the 
publication ID) and SampleID (time series within the same study) as 
random effects, and a continuous-time autoregressive structure.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best wishes,
Arne Janssen
