Causal Mediation Analysis with Multiple Mediators
In diverse fields of empirical research-including many in the biological sciences-attempts are made to decompose the effect of an exposure on an outcome into its effects via a number of different pathways. For example, we may wish to separate the effect of heavy alcohol consumption on systolic blood pressure (SBP) into effects via body mass index (BMI), via gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), ...
متن کاملStijn Vansteelandt Mediation Analysis with Multiple Mediators
Recent advances in the causal inference literature on mediation have extended traditional approaches to direct and indirect effects to settings that allow for interactions and non-linearities. In this article, these approaches from causal inference are further extended to settings in which multiple mediators may be of interest. Two analytic approaches, one based on regression and one based on w...
متن کاملMediation Analysis: Expanding From One Mediator to Multiple Mediators
Mediation analysis is the process of determining whether or not variables acting as an in-between step, called mediators, are present when looking at the relationship between an independent variable X and a dependent variable Y. An educational study was proposed to analyze the effect of different classroom environments on students performance. This study also measured if the student is on-task ...
متن کاملCausal Mediation Analysis
Estimating the mechanisms that connect explanatory variables with the explained variable, also known as “mediation analysis,” is central to a variety of social science fields, especially psychology, and increasingly fields like epidemiology. Recent work on the statistical methodology behind mediation analysis points to limitations in earlier methods. We implement in Stata computational approach...
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...
