In kosukeimai/mediation: Causal Mediation Analysis

mediation 4.5.0

A minor update that introduces a number of additional features.

New features

• A new function mediate_tsls() that conducts mediation analysis using an instrumental variable estimator
• In mediate(), the boot = TRUE option now makes use of the boot() function in the boot package to implement nonparametric Bayesian bootstrap. Users may also pass arguments to the boot() function in the boot package e.g. parallel or ncpus.
• For mediate(), add a use_speed option to re-fit lm and glm models using functions from the speedglm package when nonparametric bootstrap is used.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug that may cause the package to fail to load when the system.file() function from base is written over by other packages e.g. pkgload.
