RMediation1.3.0 package

Mediation Analysis Confidence Intervals

Computes confidence intervals for nonlinear functions of model parameters (e.g., product of k coefficients) in single-level and multilevel structural equation models. Methods include the distribution of the product, Monte Carlo simulation, and bootstrap methods. It also performs the Model-Based Constrained Optimization (MBCO) procedure for hypothesis testing of indirect effects. References: Tofighi, D., and MacKinnon, D. P. (2011).
