findRecursiveSet: Group variables regarding the position in mediation chain

In simsem: SIMulated Structural Equation Modeling

Description

In mediation analysis, variables affects other variables as a chain. This function will group variables regarding the chain of mediation analysis.

Usage

findRecursiveSet(beta)

Arguments

beta	The regression coefficient in path analysis.

Value

The list of set of variables in the mediation chain. The variables in position 1 will be the independent variables. The variables in the last variables will be the end of the chain.
