robmedExtra: Extra functionality for (robust) mediation analysis.

Abstract

This companion package extends the package ‘robmed’ (Alfons, Ates & Groenen, 2022b; doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i13) in various ways. Most notably, it provides a graphical user interface for the robust bootstrap test ROBMED (Alfons, Ates & Groenen, 2022a; doi:10.1177/1094428121999096) to make the method more accessible to less proficient ‘R’ users, as well as functions to export the results as a table in a ‘Microsoft Word’ or ‘Microsoft Powerpoint’ document, or as a ‘LaTeX’ table. Furthermore, the package contains a ‘shiny’ app to compare various bootstrap procedures for mediation analysis on simulated data.
