Cannot load function conv.wald()

Classification: Bug Report

General questions about the use of the metafor package should not be asked here, but on the r-sig-meta-analysis mailing list (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-meta-analysis). Anything posted here should really be related to the development of the package (including potential bug reports).

Summary

I couldn't find the function conv.wald() I also tried to search it in R and got the following message:

?conv.wald() Error in .helpForCall(topicExpr, parent.frame()) : no methods for ‘conv.wald’ and no documentation for it as a function

Reproducible Example (if applicable)

If applicable, please provide a minimal and fully reproducible example. Remove any superfluous code that is not pertinent to the issue at hand and provide a small dataset together with the code so that it can actually be run (the dput() function is extremely useful for this; or use one of the datasets that comes with the metafor package).

Since you did not post the sessionInfo() (as asked for in the instructions above), I can only guess that you do not have the current version (4.0-0) of the metafor package installed. So please upgrade and then see if it works.

Hi wviechtb,

Thanks! I upgraded my R and now it works. However, I encountered another problem with conv.wald function. I am going to start a new thread on that.
