Method Extra Columns

Retrieves the character vector of custom columns for a given method. These are method-specific columns beyond the standard columns (method, estimate, standard_error, ci_lower, ci_upper, p_value, BF, convergence, note) that each method returns.

When implementing new methods, consider using standardized column names for consistency:

Heterogeneity

tau_estimate, tau_ci_lower, tau_ci_upper, tau_p_value, tau_BF

Publication Bias

bias_coefficient, bias_coefficient_se, bias_p_value, bias_BF

Usage

get_method_extra_columns(method_name)

method_extra_columns(method_name)

# Default S3 method
method_extra_columns(method_name)

Arguments

method_name

Character string of the method name

Value

Character vector of extra column names, or empty character vector if no extra columns are defined for the method

Examples

# Get extra columns for PET method
get_method_extra_columns("PET")
#> [1] "bias_coefficient" "bias_p_value"    

# Get extra columns for RMA method
get_method_extra_columns("RMA")
#> [1] "tau_estimate" "tau_ci_lower" "tau_ci_upper" "tau_p_value"
