print.anova.rma: Print Method for 'anova.rma' Objects

Description

Print method for objects of class "anova.rma".

Usage

# S3 method for anova.rma
print(x, digits=x$digits, …)

Arguments

x

an object of class "anova.rma".

digits

integer to specify the number of decimal places to which the printed results should be rounded (the default is to take the value from the object).

other arguments.

Value

The function does not return an object.

Details

The output includes:

  • the number of parameters in the full and the reduced model.

  • the AIC, BIC, AICc, and log-likelihood of the full and the reduced model.

  • the value of the likelihood ratio test statistic.

  • the corresponding p-value.

  • the test statistic of the test for (residual) heterogeneity for the full and the reduced model.

  • the estimate of ^2 from the full and the reduced model. Suppressed for fixed-effects models.

  • R2amount (in percent) of heterogeneity in the reduced model that is accounted for in the full model (NA for fixed-effects models or for "rma.mv" objects). This can be regarded as a pseudo R^2 statistic (Raudenbush, 2009). Note that the value may not be very accurate unless k is large (Lopez-Lopez et al., 2014).

The last two items are not provided when comparing "rma.mv" models.
