Abstract:
... Mediation analysis with a binary outcome is notoriously more challenging than with a continuous outcome. A new Bayesian approach for performing causal mediation with a binary outcome and a binary mediator, named the t-link approach, is introduced. This approach relies on the Bayesian multivariate logistic regression model introduced by O'Brien and Dunson (2004) and its Student-t approximation. By ...
