A Note on Formulae for Causal Mediation Analysis in an Odds Ratio Context
In a recent article, VanderWeele and Vansteelandt (American Journal of Epidemiology, 2010, 172:1339–1348) (hereafter VWV) build on results due to Judea Pearl on causal mediation analysis and derive simple closed-form expressions for so-called natural direct and indirect effects in an odds ratio context for a binary outcome and a continuous mediator. The expressions obtained by VWV make two key ...

متن کاملInverse odds ratio-weighted estimation for causal mediation analysis.
An important scientific goal of studies in the health and social sciences is increasingly to determine to what extent the total effect of a point exposure is mediated by an intermediate variable on the causal pathway between the exposure and the outcome. A causal framework has recently been proposed for mediation analysis, which gives rise to new definitions, formal identification results and n...
متن کاملmediation: R Package for Causal Mediation Analysis
In this paper, we describe the R package mediation for conducting causal mediation analysis in applied empirical research. In many scientific disciplines, the goal of researchers is not only estimating causal effects of a treatment but also understanding the process in which the treatment causally affects the outcome. Causal mediation analysis is frequently used to assess potential causal mecha...
متن کاملThe case-only odds ratio as a causal parameter.
In the simplest case-only design, cases of a disease are cross-classified into a 2 x 2 table describing a genotype attribute and exposure to some environmental agent. In some instances, the genetic attribute has described inherited genes; in other instances, it has described mutations, for instance, damage to proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes leading to cancer. Here, the population case...
