: Averages the estimates across models, weighting each by its posterior model probability.
This feature is incredibly versatile. The mediate command supports outcomes that can be continuous, binary, or count; mediators that can be continuous, binary, or count; and treatments that can be binary, multivalued, or continuous. It covers a total of 24 model combinations for outcomes and mediators, making it applicable to a vast array of research settings. For example, you might want to know whether a training programme improves employment rates directly, or whether its effect is mediated by an increase in participants’ self‑confidence. With mediate , you can answer this question and even calculate the proportion of the total effect that is mediated through a given pathway using the estat proportion command. This exclusive feature, available natively in Stata 18, brings advanced mediation analysis into the hands of all users.
