[R-meta] Wald_test error

[Cátia Ferreira De Oliveira]

Dear Michael,

I finally see what you meant by your question. I did not realise we now had
to provide a matrix for the constraints.
If you want to test the overall effect of a variable with three groups,
which constraints would you use? Do you have any good resources on how to
do it?
Should it be c(1,1,1,0,0,0) because you would be contrasting the group
levels and not interested in the interactions?

Group.model<- robu(formula = yi ~ 0 + Group+ Group:Variable, data = Data,
studynum = Study, var.eff.size = vi,  rho = .8, small = TRUE)
print(Group.model)

Wald_test(Group.model, constraints = ?, vcov = "CR2")

Best wishes,

Catia
