Help with model with categorical variables #12

Open Ugranziol opened 3 years ago

Ugranziol commented 3 years ago

Dear Professor Moon,

I would like to code a moderated mediation with two mediators and two moderators. I attach the model I would like to create:

`labels=list(X="X_cat",M=c("M1","M2"),Y="Y") moderator=list(name=c("W1","W2_cat"), matrix=list(c(1,1,0,1,1,1),c(0,0,0,0,1,1)), pos=c(1,2))

drawConcept(labels=labels,parallel=TRUE,moderator=moderator) cat(multipleMediation(labels=labels,moderator=moderator,range=FALSE))`

The problem is that the predictor X is a categorical variable with two levels, and the moderator W2 is categorical variable with three levels. I tried to use the catMediation function but, as far I can understand, it allows only one mediator.

Is there a way to re-create the multipleMediation output in my case?

Any help would be precious for me.

Thank you in advance for your time and availability.
