Maybe change the warnings to errors temporarily, and decide for yourself about the problem.

I am using the Mac package for meta-analyzing correlation coefficients. I am using the following command: omni(es = z, var = var.z, data = dat, type="weighted", method = "fixed", ztor = TRUE) This produces the expected values, but also a warning message: In sqrt(var.T.agg.tau) : NaNs produced This message is repeated twice. I am wondering how to interpret this error message. Is this because the program can’t estimate certain parameters due to the small number of correlation coefficients I am trying to analyze (only 3)? Most importantly, can I report and interpret the output despite those messages? The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged, confidential, and/or protected from disclosure.
