## This is an example from the examples-section res <- metaprop(4:1, c(10, 20, 30, 40), comb.fixed=FALSE, comb.random=TRUE) ## Object res contains a lot of interesting information ## Open ?metaprop and read the section on "values" str(res) ## Obtaining the random-effects weights res$w.random ## Calculating relative weights manually res$w.random/(sum(res$w.random)) HTH, Bernd ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
