【 摘 要 】

Causal mediation1 is an increasingly popular analysis, as recently described by Muthén and Asparouhov (2015, M&A)2. We suggest a simplified notation for causal mediation effects, iT/iP = BK and dT/dP, provide a graphical view of potential outcomes (PO) and expand the M&A approach by using VanderWeele's (2014) mediation decomposition.
