 mean equal to <code>xi</code> and variance equal to <code>targs$tau2</code>. By default, <code>targs$lower</code> and <code>targs$upper</code> are set to reasonable values and, if possible, <code>targs$tau2</code> is extracted from the model object in functions where such transformation functions are typically applied (e.g., <code><a href="predict.rma.html">predict</a></code>). An example is provided below.</p>
