Fit Meta-Analysis and return packed covariance per voxel
Arguments
- Y
Numeric matrix of effect sizes (subjects x features)
- V
Numeric matrix of variances (subjects x features)
- X
Numeric matrix; design matrix (subjects x predictors), including intercept
- method
Character scalar; meta-analysis method: "pm" (Paule-Mandel), "dl" (DerSimonian-Laird), "fe" (fixed-effects), or "reml" (REML, uses PM solver)
- robust
Character scalar; robust estimation method: "none" or "huber"
- huber_c
Numeric scalar; tuning constant for Huber M-estimator (default: 1.345). Smaller values provide more robust estimates but may reduce efficiency.
- robust_iter
Integer scalar; number of IRLS iterations for robust estimation (default: 2)
- n_threads
Integer scalar; number of OpenMP threads (0 = use all available)
