title: 'RMediation: Mediation Analysis Confidence Intervals'
version: 1.6.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.RMediation
abstract: 'Computes confidence intervals for nonlinear functions of model parameters
  (e.g., product of k coefficients) in single-level and multilevel structural equation
  models. Methods include the distribution of the product, Monte Carlo simulation,
  and bootstrap methods. It also performs the Model-Based Constrained Optimization
  (MBCO) procedure for hypothesis testing of indirect effects. References: Tofighi,
