There has been considerable and rapid methodological development on mediation and moderation/interaction analysis within the causal-inference literature over the last ten years. Much of this material appears in a variety of specialized journals, and some of the papers are quite technical. There has also been considerable interest in these developments from empirical researchers in the social and biomedical sciences. However, much of the material is not currently in a format that is accessible tSocial sciencesResearchSocial sciencesMethodologyCausationElectronic books.Social sciencesResearch.Social sciencesMethodology.Causation.001.4/22VanderWeele Tyler955253MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459790903321Explanation in causal inference2160830UNINA
