Abstract

This module implements the ratio-of-mediator-probability weighting (RMPW) method for causal mediation analysis to decompose the treatment effect into "direct" and "indirect" effects. The indirect effect operates through a "mediator," which is a variable that is affected by the treatment and in turn also has an effect on the outcome. The direct effect operates directly from the treatment to the outcome, or operates through other unmeasured mediators.
