paths: An Imputation Approach to Estimating Path-Specific Causal Effects
Year: 2020

In causal mediation analysis with multiple causally ordered mediators, a set of path-specific effects are identified under standard ignorability assumptions. This package implements an imputation approach to estimating these effects along with a set of bias formulas for conducting sensitivity analysis (Zhou and Yamamoto &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.31235%2Fosf.io%2F2rx6p" target="_top">doi:10.31235/osf.io/2rx6p</a>&gt;). It contains two main functions: paths() for estimating path-specific eff
