In tvmediation: Time Varying Mediation Analysis

Main function for time varying mediation function for continuous outcome and three treatment arms (i.e., exposure groups).

Description

Part of the set of internal functions to estimate the time-varying mediation effect and bootstrap standard errors for three treatment groups and continuous outcome.

Usage

tvmcurve_3trt(T1, T2, t.seq, x, y, t.est)

Arguments

T1	a vector indicating assignment to treatment 1
T2	a vector indicating assignment to treatment 2
t.seq	a vector of time points for each observation
x	matrix of mediator values in wide format
y	matrix of outcome values in wide format
t.est	time points at which to make the estimation. Default = t.seq

Value

hat.alpha1	estimated Treatment 1 effect on mediator
hat.alpha2	estimated Treatment 2 effect on mediator
hat.gamma1	estimated Treatment 1 direct effect on outcome
hat.gamma2	estimated Treatment 2 direct effect on outcome
hat.tau1	estimated Treatment 1 total effect on outcome
hat.tau2	estimated Treatment 2 total effect on outcome
hat.beta	estimated mediator effect on outcome
hat.mediation1	time varying mediation effect for Treatment 1 on outcome
hat.mediation2	time varying mediation effect for Treatment 2 on outcome
