Does medsens function support the sensitivity analysis of causal mediation analysis with multilevel data? #60

Hi, does medsens function support the sensitivity analysis of causal mediation analysis with multilevel data? Thank you so much!


Due to the essence of multilevel data, I use lmer function to obtain med.fit and out.fit. Then, use these two outputs as inputs of the mediate function to get med.out. Finally, I try to use medsens function to perform the sensitivity analysis.

However, I get the error message below:

Error in medsens(med.out, rho.by = 0.1, effect.type = "indirect", sims = 100) : mediate object fitted with non-supported model combinations

thx!
