  <dc:title>Mediation Analysis Confidence Intervals</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package RMediation version 1.6.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Computes confidence intervals for nonlinear functions of model 
    parameters (e.g., product of k coefficients) in single-level and multilevel 
    structural equation
     models. Methods include the distribution of the product, 
    Monte Carlo simulation, and bootstrap methods. It also performs the Model-Based 
    Constrained Optimization (MBCO) procedure for hypothesis testing of indirect 
    effects.
