SAS ® for Bayesian Mediation Analysis
Recent statistical mediation analysis research focuses on using Bayesian methods for several reasons including the ability to incorporate prior information about model parameters, ease of constructing intervals for simple and complex models, and exact inference for small samples without restrictive assumptions of conventional mediation analysis (Yuan & MacKinnon, 2009).The focus of this paper i...
متن کاملSAS macros for testing statistical mediation in data with binary mediators or outcomes.
BACKGROUND Statistical mediation is an important tool in behavioral health sciences, but it has been confined primarily to continuous variables. As prevention studies become increasingly common, more often the mediator or outcome is binary. Recent work by D. P. MacKinnon and J. H. Dwyer (1993) has explicated the steps necessary to estimate models for mediation when the mediator or the outcome i...
متن کاملCausal Mediation Analysis Using R∗
Causal mediation analysis is widely used across many disciplines to investigate possible causal mechanisms. Such an analysis allows researchers to explore various causal pathways, going beyond the estimation of simple causal effects. Recently, Imai, Keele, and Yamamoto (2010c) and Imai, Keele, and Tingley (2010b) developed general algorithms to estimate causal mediation effects with the variety...
متن کاملSAS® Macros for Exact Confidence Limits
Confidence intervals have a long history and have become an indispensable tool in statistical applications. The computation of confidence intervals for a mean based on normal (large sample) theory is straightforward and readily available in the SAS system through such procedures as PROC ANOV A and PROC GLM. For the case of small samples and non-normal distributions, however, normal theory based...
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...
