A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Mediation and Spillover Effects with Multiple Mediators in Cluster-Randomized Trials
整群随机试验中多重中介与溢出效应的贝叶斯非参数方法
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) with multiple unstructured mediators present significant methodological challenges for causal inference due to within-cluster correlation, interference among units, and the complexity introduced by multiple mediators. Existing causal mediation methods often fall short in simultaneously addressing these complexities, particularly in disentangling mediator-specific effects under interference that are central to studying complex mechanisms. To…
