title: 'paths: An Imputation Approach to Estimating Path-Specific Causal Effects'
version: 0.1.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.paths
abstract: '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
  <https://doi.org/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.'
