[R-meta] multivariate fixed-effect meta-analysis

[Filippo Gambarota]

Hi!
I'm performing a multivariate meta-analysis with metafor, however I'm
not sure how to obtain the fixed-effect version. Given that I have not
enough data I'm not interested in estimating tau for each outcome and
the correlation among outcomes but only taking into account the
sampling error dependence. I'm using this function:
```
rma.mv(
    yi = eff_size,
    V = cov_mat,
    mods = ~ 0 + outcome,
    struct = "UN",
    random = ~ outcome|paper_id,
    method = "FE",
    data = data)
```
Of course, the struct argument is no more relevant (as the warning
message said) but I'm wondering if the result is what I'm looking for
because from the rma.mv documentation the method = "FE" is not
mentioned combined with a multivariate parametrization.
Thank you!
