uniR1 {metaSEM}

First Stage analysis of the univariate R (uniR) approach

Description

It conducts the first stage analysis of the uniR analysis by pooling elements of the correlation coefficients individually.

Usage

uniR1(Cor, n, ...)

Arguments

Cor

A list of correlation matrices

n

A vector of sample sizes

...

Further arguments which are currently ignored

Details

This function implements the univariate r approach proposed by Viswesvaran and Ones (1995) to conduct meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM). It uses Schmidt and Hunter's approach to combine correlation coefficients. It is included in this package for research interests. The two-stage structural equation modeling (TSSEM) approach is preferred (e.g., Cheung, 2015; Cheung & Chan, 2005).

Value

An object of class uniR1 of the original data, the sample sizes, the harmonic mean of sample sizes, the average correlation matrix, the standard errors of the correlation matrix, and the standard deviations (heterogeneity) of the correlation matrix.
