Hello all,
I am running a metanalysis using a precomputed effect size and standard error.
I have no issues declaring the data for the metanalysis but when I select the random effect models for these analysis I get the error "Convergence not achieved during tau2 estimation". Summary command runs when I use a fixed-effect model but this type of model is not appropriate for the analysis of the data.
**************code*************
meta set Meanatbaseline SDbaseline if ( _Study_design=="A" ), studylabel(_author_year) studysize( _pop) eslabel( baseline )
(75 missing values generated)
Meta-analysis setting information

. meta summarize
Convergence not achieved during tau2 estimation
thank you for your help
