Causal 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 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...
متن کاملThresholded Lasso for High Dimensional Variable Selection
Given n noisy samples with p dimensions, where n " p, we show that the multi-step thresholding procedure based on the Lasso – we call it the Thresholded Lasso, can accurately estimate a sparse vector β ∈ R in a linear model Y = Xβ + ", where Xn×p is a design matrix normalized to have column #2-norm √ n, and " ∼ N(0,σIn). We show that under the restricted eigenvalue (RE) condition (BickelRitov-T...
متن کاملComments: Improving Weighting Methods for Causal Mediation Analysis
I begin this discussion by thanking Larry Hedges, the editor of the journal, for giving me an opportunity to provide a commentary on this stimulating article. I also would like to congratulate the authors of the article for their insightful discussion on causal mediation analysis, which is one of the most important and challenging methodological problems we face in the literature of causal infe...
متن کاملPre-Selection in Cluster Lasso Methods for Correlated Variable Selection in High-Dimensional Linear Models
We consider variable selection problems in high dimensional sparse regression models with strongly correlated variables. To handle correlated variables, the concept of clustering or grouping variables and then pursuing model fitting is widely accepted. When the dimension is very high, finding an appropriate group structure is as difficult as the original problem. We propose to use Elastic-net a...
