Monte Carlo Method for Indirect Effect in a Simple Mediation Model Assuming \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) Follow a Multivariate Normal Distribution (Sampling Distribution)

In this method \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are assumed to follow a multivariate normal distribution.

mc.mvn(R = 20000L, alphahat, sehatalphahat, betahat, sehatbetahat)

Arguments

R	Integer. Monte Carlo replications.
alphahat	Numeric. Estimated slope of path from x to m \(\left( \hat{\alpha} \right)\) .
sehatalphahat	Numeric. Estimated standard error of slope of path from x to m \(\left( \widehat{se}_{\hat{\alpha}} \right)\) .
betahat	Numeric. Estimated slope of path from m to y \(\left( \hat{\beta} \right)\) .
sehatbetahat	Numeric. Estimated standard error of slope of path from m to y \(\left( \widehat{se}_{\hat{\beta}} \right)\) .
