Mediation analysis using R

It’s not uncommon to see covariates in a regression model that should not be there. For example, measurements that occur after the treatment assignment are included into a regression model as baseline covariates. Rather, one should consider a mediation analysis.

I wrote a tutorial on how to perform mediation analysis using R on my RPubs site (link).

I know that I make this mistake at times. This tutorial helped me to carefully consider which covariates to include in a regression model and which ones to consider for mediation analysis.
