mixmeta (version 1.2.2)

logLik.mixmeta: Extract Log-Likelihood from mixmeta Objects

Description

This method function returns the (restricted) log-likelihood for fitted meta-analytical models represented in objects of class "mixmeta".

Usage

# S3 method for mixmeta
logLik(object, ...)

Value

A numeric scalar of class "logLik" with attributes, providing the (restricted) log likelihood of the model. Attributes correspond to the component df of mixmeta objects, namely the following scalars: nall (number of observations used for estimation, excluding missing values), nobs (equal to nall, minus the number of fixed-effects coefficients for REML models, fixed (number of estimated fixed-effects coefficients), random (number of estimated (co)variance terms).

Arguments

object

an object of class "mixmeta".

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.
