metaSEM example running error

Dear Mike,

I am attempting to use your R package metaSEM but I came across some problems when I running summary( meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03) ) in "metaSEM" website. R version that I use is 2.15.3.

Error:
summary( meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03) )
Running Meta analysis with ML
错误于sort.int(x, na.last = na.last, decreasing = decreasing, ...) :
'x' must be atomic
此外: 警告信息:
In mean.default(x, na.rm = TRUE) :
argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

Hi Ning, I have tried

Hi Ning,

I have tried metaSEM_0.8-4 with R-2.15.3 in Windows and R-3.0.2 in Linux. Both worked fine.

Could you try the latest version of metaSEM at http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/psycwlm/Internet/metaSEM/ ? If it does not work, could you please post the output of sessionInfo()? Thanks.

Mike

Dear Mike,

The file attachment is the program, following errors occurred after I ran the program. I did't know why. Could you help me explain it?

Hi Ning, The following syntax

Hi Ning,

The following syntax does NOT work.
meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03)
summary(meta3)

You need to save the output into an object first, e.g.,
my.meta <- meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03)
summary(my.meta)

Alternatively, you may use the following syntax without saving the object.
summary( meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03) )

Since the metaSEM package is based on R, I would suggest to read the "Introduction to R" at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html . It may help you to get familiar with R.

Dear Ning,

It is strange that it shows meta and meta3 are masked. It appears that you already have a copy of meta and meta3 in your environment. I do not know what's wrong.

Could you close R and open it again? Then type
sink("bugs.txt")
ls()
library(metaSEM)
mymeta <- meta3(y=y, v=v, cluster=District, data=Cooper03)
summary(mymeta)
sessionInfo()
sink()

Could you send the output (bugs.txt in your directory) to my email (mikewlcheung@nus.edu.sg) instead of to this discussion forum? Since most readers may not be interested in this issue, it is better to do if off-list. I will post a summary regarding this issue when it is resolved.

Mike
