Delta_Med in a 'delta_med'-Class Object

Return the estimate of Delta_Med in a 'delta_med'-class object.

## S3 method for class 'delta_med'
coef(object, ...)

Arguments

• object: The output of delta_med().
• ...: Optional arguments. Ignored.

Returns

A scalar: The estimate of Delta_Med.

Details

library(lavaan)
dat <- data_med
mod <-
"
m ~ x
y ~ m + x
"
fit <- sem(mod, dat)
dm <- delta_med(x = "x",
                y = "y",
                m = "m",
                fit = fit)
dm
print(dm, full = TRUE)
