Categorical moderators in meta-analysis (MAJOR)
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2021 12:23 pm
Hi,
I have just stumbled across Jamovi whilst looking for some easy-to-use software for teaching meta-analysis. I usually use R and the meta-analysis package. It looks great and is working well for what I need.
One issue that I have found is in trying to sasign a categorical moderator for subgroup analysis. I can create a moderator column with nominal text values for the subgroups, but when I come to meta-analysis with MAJOR, it only allows me to select a continuous data column for the moderator.
Seems like it should be possible, as in the analysis section I can choose a categorical moderator type?
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Simon
