option measure() not allowed r(198)

[Hilary Sito]

Hi, I am a newbie to using Stata and Meta-analysis.
When I entered "metabias logor selogor, begg" or "metabias logor selogor, egger", the message below appeared:
Note: data input format theta se_theta assumed
option measure() not allowed
r(198);

I have attached the file with the data here. XRCC1 rs1799782 homozygous.dta

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thank you very much

i'm not sure why but dropping _ES-_rsample resolves the issue

Dear Hilary Sito

Could you please check what the result is of typing into Stata: which metabias ?

It should say "version 3.0.1 jan2021". If not, please try updating the package (adoupate metabias, update) and see if that resolves the issue.

For the record, using your attached dataset I do not encounter the error message (using Stata v17.0).

Many thanks,

David.

Thank you very much David Fisher and Oyvind Snilsberg for your suggestions.
I have overwritten my version of the Stata and it works fine now!

Best regards,
Hilary
