Mediation
Abstract
A mediator explains, at least in part, a causal relationship between two variables. The total relationship between the two variables is due to a indirect effect, that part explained by the mediator, and due to an direct effect, that part not explained be the mediator. Strong assumptions must be made to estimate and test mediation. The inclusion of multiple variables complicates mediational analysis. Mediational analysis while seemingly simple is actually quite complex.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
