Error unexpected '='

[serhi]

Hi everyone:

I am doing a reliability generalization meta-analysis and when I try to do a moderation analysis I get this error:
Error: unexpected '=' in "mues<-rma(measure="ABT", ai=Alfa, mi=Items, ni=n, mods = ~ Muestra, random = ~ 1 | data="

The code I am using is:
var<-rma(measure="ABT", ai=Alfa, mi=Items, ni=n, mods = ~ Muestra, random = ~ 1 | data=base_1)

I am using the same code with different variables and it only happens with two of them.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

You have this

var<-rma(measure="ABT", ai=Alfa, mi=Items, ni=n, mods = ~ Muestra, random = ~ 1 | data=base_1)

I think you want this. Note the comma after random instead of a pipe.

var<-rma(measure="ABT", ai=Alfa, mi=Items, ni=n, mods = ~ Muestra, random = ~ 1 , data=base_1)

Yes, it works! I do not understand why in the other moderators the error did not appear.

Thank you so much!
