Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for your clarification - and your excellent package !
Best wishes, Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Viechtbauer Wolfgang (STAT) [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Montag, 4.

Changed for the next version of the package. And the escalc() function now no longer checks for sd2i, since it is not needed anyway (for "SMCR"). For now, you will just have to set sd2i to something (e.g., 0). Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
