Dear Statalisters,
Using my whole dataset (with several others variables) I type:
. metareg logor, wsse(selogor) reml
and obtain:
numerical derivatives are approximate
nearby values are missing
numerical derivatives are approximate
nearby values are missing
numerical derivatives are approximate
nearby values are missing
could not calculate numerical derivatives
missing values encountered
r(430);
Then, I do the following: clear, inpute the same data but only the two
variables and obtain sucessfully the result I am looking for:
clear
*/---------START-------------
input logor selogor

.2786815 .1604731
-1.400893 1.19818
.537752 .5122404
end
metareg logor, wsse(selogor) reml
*/--------END--------------------
Meta-regression Number of obs =
4
REML estimate of between-study variance tau2 =
0
% residual variation due to heterogeneity I-squared_res =
0.00%
With Knapp-Hartung modification

_cons | .268642 .1496053 1.80 0.170 -.207469

Does anyone have a guess about what is going on with -metareg- (the most
recent version)?
Cheers!
