Mediation, Indirect Effects and Inference Testing
A review of causal mediation analysis for assessing direct and indirect treatment effects
... This paper reviews the methodological advancements in the causal mediation literature. Sec- tion 2 defines the parameters of interest: (natural) direct and indirect effects, the controlled di- rect ...

Direct and indirect treatment effects - causal chains and mediation analysis with instrumental variables
... In this paper, we analyse the nonparametric identification of causal mechanisms via instru- mental variables (IV) and permit both treatment and mediator endogeneity to be related to un- observed confounders. 1 We make ...

Approximate Bayesian computation using indirect inference
... We consider a stochastic process model that was developed by Riley et al. (2003) for a Brugia pahangi population within a host. The Brugia pahangi parasite is known to infect domestic cats and wild animals whereas Brugia ...
