robmed: (Robust) Mediation Analysis

CRAN

Perform mediation analysis via the robust bootstrap test ROBMED (Alfons, Ates & Groenen, 2022a). In addition to ROBMED, various other methods for mediation analysis are implemented.

About ROBMED

The robust bootstrap test ROBMED for mediation analysis is less sensitive to deviations from model assumptions (such as outliers or heavily tailed distributions) than the standard bootstrap test of Preacher & Hayes (2004, 2008). ROBMED utilizes the robust MM-regression estimator (Yohai, 1987) instead of the OLS estimator for regression, and runs bootstrap tests with the fast and robust bootstrap methodology (Salibián-Barrera & Zamar, 2002; Salibián-Barrera & Van Aelst, 2008).

More information can be found in our article:

Alfons, A., Ates, N.Y., & Groenen, P.J.F. (2022a). A Robust Bootstrap Test for Mediation Analysis. Organizational Research Methods, 25(3), 591--617. doi: 10.1177/1094428121999096.

Note that the defaults in robmed have since changed to use simple percentile bootstrap confidence intervals for the indirect effects (starting with version 1.1.0).

Installation

Package robmed is on CRAN (The Comprehensive R Archive Network), hence the latest release can be easily installed from the R command line via
