  <dc:description>We implement parametric and non parametric mediation analysis. This package performs the methods and suggestions in Imai, Keele and Yamamoto (2010) &lt;DOI:10.1214/10-STS321&gt;, Imai, Keele and Tingley (2010) &lt;DOI:10.1037/a0020761&gt;, Imai, Tingley and Yamamoto (2013) &lt;DOI:10.1111/j.1467-985X.2012.01032.x&gt;, and Imai and Yamamoto (2013) &lt;DOI:10.1093/pan/mps040&gt;. In addition to the estimation of causal mediation effects, the software also allows researchers to conduct sensitivity analysis for certain parametric models.</dc:description>
