Hi! I am running a multi-level meta-regression in R using the metafor package. I have specified a univariate multi-level meta-regression as follows:
Test_MR <- rma.mv(yi = effectsize_estimates, V = effsize_sd2, data = Test, mods = ~ x, random = list(~ 1 | coeff, ~ 1 | study)) Can someone help explain what this code specifies exactly? Can I define this as a mixed-effects model whereby the moderator X is a fixed effect and random effects denote heterogeneity of effect sizes within study clusters and between clusters? Can someone explain what the ~1 at the end of the line specifies? Thank you!
