Causal Mediation Analysis with a Binary Mediator: The Influence of the Estimation Approach and Causal Contrast

open access: yesStructural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
Although causal mediation analysis clarifies causal effect estimation, little attention has been devoted to the differences between causal estimation approaches. This paper illustrates the difference between the causal estimation approaches for mediation models with a binary mediator.

Disentangled Representation for Causal Mediation Analysis

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2023
Estimating direct and indirect causal effects from observational data is crucial to understanding the causal mechanisms and predicting the behaviour under different interventions. Causal mediation analysis is a method that is often used to reveal direct and indirect effects.

Causal mediation analysis with a three‐dimensional image mediator

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, 2023
Causal mediation analysis is increasingly abundant in biology, psychology, and epidemiology studies and so forth. In particular, with the advent of the big data era, the issue of high‐dimensional mediators is becoming more prevalent. In neuroscience, with the widespread application of magnetic resonance technology in the field of brain imaging, studies

An Introduction to Causal Mediation Analysis With a Comparison of 2 R Packages [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2023
Traditional mediation analysis, which relies on linear regression models, has faced criticism due to its limited suitability for cases involving different types of variables and complex covariates, such as interactions.

Causal Mediation Analysis with Multiple Mediators [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics, 2014
Summary 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 ...

Generalized Causal Mediation Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics, 2011
The goal of mediation analysis is to assess direct and indirect effects of a treatment or exposure on an outcome. More generally, we may be interested in the context of a causal model as characterized by a directed acyclic graph (DAG), where mediation via a specific path from exposure to outcome may involve an arbitrary number of links (or "stages ...
