mediation_summary: Mediation Analysis

Description

It currently only support simple mediation analysis using the path analysis approach with the lavaan package. I am trying to implement multilevel mediation in lavaan. In the future, I will try supporting moderated mediation (through lavaan or mediation) and mediation with latent variable (through lavaan).

Usage

mediation_summary(
  data,
  response_variable,
  mediator,
  predictor_variable,
  control_variable = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  standardize = TRUE,
  digits = 3,
  quite = FALSE,
  streamline = FALSE,
  return_result = FALSE
)

Value

an object from lavaan

Arguments

data

data.frame

response_variable

response variable. Support dplyr::select() syntax.

mediator

mediator. Support dplyr::select() syntax.

predictor_variable

predictor variable. Support dplyr::select() syntax.

control_variable

control variables / covariate. Support dplyr::select() syntax.

group

nesting variable for multilevel mediation. Not confident about the implementation method.

standardize

standardized coefficients. Default is TRUE

digits

number of digits to round to

quite

suppress printing output

streamline

print streamlined output

return_result

If it is set to TRUE, it will return the lavaan object

Examples

mediation_summary(
  data = lmerTest::carrots,
  response_variable = Preference,
  mediator = Sweetness,
  predictor_variable = Crisp
)
