#### ML estimation method
## No predictor

## Type as a predictor
## Grant: 0
## Fellowship: 1
summary( meta3(y=logOR, v=v, x=(as.numeric(Type)-1),
               cluster=Cluster, data=Bornmann07) )

## Centered Year as a predictor
summary( meta3(y=logOR, v=v, x=scale(Year, scale=FALSE),
               cluster=Cluster, data=Bornmann07) )

#### REML estimation method
## No predictor

## Type as a predictor
## Grants: 0
## Fellowship: 1

## Copy Bornmann07 to my.df
my.df <- Bornmann07
## "Fellowship": 1; "Grant": 0

## Create 17 out of 66 missingness with MCAR

## MAR
Type_MAR <- ifelse(Bornmann07$Type=="Fellowship", yes=1, no=0)

## Create 27 out of 66 missingness with MAR for cases Year<1996
