Bounds for causal mediation effects
因果中介效应的界
Several frameworks have been proposed for studying causal mediation analysis. What these frameworks have in common is that they all make assumptions for point identifications that can be violated even when treatment is randomized. When a causal effect is not point-identified, one can sometimes derive bounds, i.e. a range of possible values that are consistent with the observed data. In this work, we study causal bounds for mediation effects under both the natural effects…
