[Feature Request]: Bayesian Mediation #1630

Open TarandeepKang opened 2 years ago

TarandeepKang commented 2 years ago

Description

No response

Purpose

No response

Use-case

Likely whenever frequentist mediation would be used, but with the inherent advantages of Bayesian analysis

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Not a problem per se, just the inclusion of a method that the team has already developed

Describe the solution you would like

The inclusion of the Bayesian counterpart to Frequentist mediation perhaps as in: Nuijten, M.B., Wetzels, R., Matzke, D. et al. A default Bayesian hypothesis test for mediation. Behav Res 47, 85–97 (2015). https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-014-0470-2

Describe alternatives that you have considered

Going straight to using the R package, but it does not seem that this can be easily downloaded.

Additional context

Thank you for implementing frequentist mediation analysis, using the GUI, and for the flexibility of structural equation modelling for more complicated analysis. I recently came across this Bayesian implementation, and it seems the logical counterpart to your frequent test implementation, and would follow nicely with the ethos of making Bayesian analysis accessible. Not least, because it seems like the package can no longer be downloaded from CRAN?

Hi @TarandeepKang, thank you for the request. Can you specify which r package you are referring to in particular?

juliuspfadt commented 2 years ago

@EJWagenmakers, what do you think?

EJWagenmakers commented 2 years ago

Yes, would be good. However, the package is no longer on CRAN, and I would want to give this another think (and see how this can be generalized)

@TarandeepKang Is there any update on the state of the R-Package? Currently there are at least 3 that mention Bayesian Mediation:

all 3 download from CRAN. BayesianMediationA however does not finish compilation, complaining about missing dep R2jags.

I can't help you there, I'm afraid, Thomas. EJ is the author on the paper, so I guess it's his baby (well at least partly :-))?
