Mediation analysis example #475

Open antagomir opened 4 months ago

antagomir commented 4 months ago

Mention in some suitable chapter that also mediation analysis is supported by mia.

Or: exemplify the new mediation functionality in mia with a more detailed example. Avoid duplicating what is already in mia documentation and examples. But if OMA is a good place to explain more about the new method, then perhaps. Consider future maintenance burden for all new content.

Perhaps we should have a new Chapter on "Other methods" or "Advanced techniques", with miscellaneous content that does not make their own dedicated chapter yet?

This could go under "association" as it's own chapter

antagomir commented 1 month ago

Ok.

@RiboRings Any chance to implement this?

RiboRings commented 1 month ago

Hey! So are you suggesting to add a new book chapter called Association? What else will it include and how does it relate to mediation analysis?

TuomasBorman commented 1 month ago

See the book, there are lots of changes https://microbiome.github.io/OMA/docs/devel/pages/correlation.html

For instance, similarly to "Correlation" there could be "Mediation"

Ok I can work on it once I get past this tight exam period.

Cool!
