Meta-analysis subset analysis

[BearDr]

The Hunter & Schmidt meta-analysis has incorporated analysis of subsets of data but not the Bayesian meta-analysis. Could someone please add that capability? For instance, operational, financial and market performance are all subsets of overall firm performance. HS provides the details of each subset when the subset column is added as 'factor'. Bayes does not have the capability to add 'factor'. It has 'study labels' which doesn't behave the same. It only shows the subset label in the forest plots without giving any results for combined the whole subset. This (1) is a snapshot of HS set up:

This (2) is a snapshot of HS output:

This (5) is a snapshot of Bayes setup:

These (3,4) are snapshots of Bayes output:

@FBartos
might this also be covered by jasp-stats/jaspMetaAnalysis#248
?

The write up is a bit confusing to me, but as far as I understand, the OP is asking for meta-regression / sub-group analyses in the Bayesian Meta-analysis. We have a similar functionality in the Bayesian penalized meta-analysis module now, and I plan to add Bayesian meta-regression later as well, but it won't be part of the current rewrite of the frequentist portion)
