Hello, I used the default parameters: - envelope: default is TRUE - level: the default is to take the value from the object (I do not understand this very well)
When you specified your original model to rma.uni you either specified the level or let it default (to 95). That value is stored in the object returned by rma.uni and used by qqnorm.rma.uni unless you override it. You can see what is in the object returned by rma.uni by using str.
- bonferroni : no - reps : default is 1000 - smooth: default is TRUE - bass : default is 0 I used no other arguments. 2012/1/13 Michael Dewey <i...@aghmed.fsnet.co.uk>: > At 15:53 11/01/2012, Ricc wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> I once used the metawin software to perform a meta-analysis (see >> metawinsoft, Rosenberg et al.) and produced normal qqplot to test for >> a potential bias in the dataset. >> I now want to re-use the same dataset with the package metafor by W. >> Viechtbauer (great package btw). >> >> I run the qqnorm.rma.uni function.
