CAUSAL MEDIATION ANALYSIS – UNIVERSITA’ DI PAVIA
In this course we will introduce the modern causal inference based understanding of effect decomposition. All theoretical concepts will be set into the context of real life research problems. The course will enable the participants to conduct their own mediation analyses in settings with either single or multiple mediators, by making use of specific R packages for mediation analysis. The examples of the course will be taken from medical testing, epidemiology and social sciences. Exercise sessions throughout the course will ensure that participants actively use the just taught concepts.
