Description: In causal mediation analysis with multiple causally
        ordered mediators, a set of path-specific effects are
        identified under standard ignorability assumptions. This
        package implements an imputation approach to estimating these
        effects along with a set of bias formulas for conducting
        sensitivity analysis (Zhou and Yamamoto
        <doi:10.31235/osf.io/2rx6p>). It contains two main functions:
        paths() for estimating path-specific effects and sens() for
        conducting sensitivity analysis. Estimation uncertainty is
        quantified using the nonparametric bootstrap.
