Abstract Causal mediation analysis is used to decompose the total effect of an exposure on outcome into indirect effect, taking path through intermediate variable, and a direct effect. To estimate these effects, strong assumptions are made about unconfoundedness relationships between exposure, mediator outcome. These difficult verify in given situation therefore should be complemented with sens...

I.e., we consider the average indirect effect of the treatment, which operates through an intermediate variable (or mediator) that is situated on the causal path between the treatment and the outcome, as well as the (unmediated) direct effec...
