desc.effects.mediation function

Describe the effects from a mediation object

Describe the effects, and calculate standard errors and confidence intervals from a mediation object

## S3 method for class 'mediation'
desc.effects(x, y_outcome = NULL, ...)

Arguments

• x: A mediation object
• y_outcome: The outcome; if NULL, then Y must have been provided to the original mediation function.
• ...: Additional arguments..

Returns

• results: effects, standard errors, and confidence intervals of a mediation object

Examples
