[R-meta] Egger's Test in rma.mv

[Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (NP)]

Dear Tina,

This has been discussed on this mailing list on a number of occasions. Please look through the archives:

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-meta-analysis/

and/or search them via:

https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=ee4b2e6c93b6a9667

If you search for terms like "rma.mv egger" or "rma.mv 'publication bias'" you are likely to find a number of posts/threads dealing with this very question.

Best,
Wolfgang
