Practical guidance for conducting mediation analysis with multiple mediators using inverse odds ratio weighting.
Despite the recent flourishing of mediation analysis techniques, many modern approaches are difficult to implement or applicable to only a restricted range of regression models. This report provides practical guidance for implementing a new technique utilizing inverse odds ratio weighting (IORW) to estimate natural direct and indirect effects for mediation analyses. IORW takes advantage of the ...
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 کاملCausal 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 ...
