چکیده
The decomposition of the overall effect a treatment into direct and indirect effects is here investigated with reference to recursive system binary random variables. We show how, for single mediator context, marginal measured on log odds scale can be written as sum plus residual term that vanishes under some specific conditions. then extend our definitions situations involving multiple mediators address research questions concerning total when pathway from outcome are marginalized over. Connections counterfactual also made. Data coming an encouragement design students’ attitude visit museums in Florence, Italy, reanalyzed. estimates defined quantities reported together their standard errors compute p values form confidence intervals.

Symmetrization of Binary Random Variables
A random variable Y is called an independent symmetrizer of a given random variable X if (a) it is independent of X and (b) the distribution of X + Y is symmetric about 0. In cases where the distribution of X is symmetric about its mean, it is easy to see that the constant random variable Y = −EX is a minimum-variance independent symmetrizer. Taking Y to have the same distribution as −X clearly...

متن کاملSOME PROBABILISTIC INEQUALITIES FOR FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES
In this paper, the concepts of positive dependence and linearlypositive quadrant dependence are introduced for fuzzy random variables. Also,an inequality is obtained for partial sums of linearly positive quadrant depen-dent fuzzy random variables. Moreover, a weak law of large numbers is estab-lished for linearly positive quadrant dependent fuzzy random variables. Weextend some well known inequ...
متن کاملMaximal Inequalities for Associated Random Variables
In a celebrated work by Shao [13] several inequalities for negatively associated random variables were proved. In this paper we obtain some maximal inequalities for associated random variables. Also we establish a maximal inequality for demimartingales which generalizes and improves the result of Christofides [4].
