Dear James

Thank you for taking the time to think about this and write. I think your approach of writing the model out is a good one for discussing exactly what is going on "under the hood".

Your justification of the degrees of freedom seems sound - much appreciated.

I am still a little uncertain about the model specification because an additive random effect is specified in the initial meta-regression using the rma command. But then a multiplicative error is specified in the regtest command. These probably dont have any bearing on the degrees of freedom, but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain how these are jointly implemented.

With very best wishes

Alex

Option 1 amounts to fitting the model

Y_i = b0 + b1 m.c_i + b2 se_i + e_i

with the assumption that Var(e_i) = sigma^2 v_i for unknown sigma^2.  It can be fit using the nlme package using the following syntax (building off of the previous code):

library(nlme)
gls_fit <- gls(yi ~ m.c + sqrt(vi), data = ma.dataset, weights = varFixed(~ vi))
summary(gls_fit)

I think the correct df would be 27 in this case.

With option 2, the residuals from the first stage have lost 2 degrees of freedom (down to 28), and then they lose two more with the second stage fit (because the intercept is re-estimated when it should be constrained to zero).

Dear Michael

Many thanks for taking the time to write. (And let me thank you for all your hard work on the R meta-analysis web page - this is a fantastic resource I use all the time)

I think your suggestion is very plausible and I was thinking along related lines. Then I convinced myself that the df used in first regression was reflected in the se of the residuals (in a very "hand wavy" sort of way!) .

As you say, the issue then focuses on which is "better" - my concern with option 1 is that I don't know how to reproduce it outside of the package - but as you say it may well be theoretically superior.

I am also hoping Wolfgang can supply some definitive insight!

Thanks again

Dear Alex

I suspect the answer is that regtest.rma refits the model and so "knows"
you have a moderator and hence loses you a degree of freedom whereas regtest.default does not "know" that and so proceeds as though you had just the single predictor (sei). That probably explains the change in t too although we may need to wait for Wolfgang to give us the definitive answer.

Of course that leaves open the question which is better. I think your option 1 is what I would prefer but that is just based on instainct rather than any higher mathematics.
