[R-meta] Error with rma.uni in a Monte Carlo simulation

[Dr. Guido Schwarzer]

To elaborate a bit on using try(). The following code uses the DerSimonian-Laird estimator if the REML estimation fails.

m <- try(rma.uni(...))
if (inherits(m, "try-error"))
 m <- try(rma.uni(..., method = "DL"))

Best,
Guido
