Monte Carlo Simulation Parameters (Multivariate Normal)

paramsmvn

Format

A data frame with 12 variables

taskid

Simulation task identification number.

n

Sample size.

mux

Population mean of x \(\left( \mu_x \right)\).

mum

Population mean of m \(\left( \mu_m \right)\).

muy

Population mean of y \(\left( \mu_y \right)\).

taudot

Population slope of path from x to y \(\left( \dot{\tau} \right)\)

beta

Population slope of path from m to y \(\left( \beta \right)\)

alpha

Population slope of path from x to m \(\left( \alpha \right)\)

sigma2x

Population variance of x \(\left( \sigma_{x}^{2} \right)\)

sigma2m

Population variance of m \(\left( \sigma_{m}^{2} \right)\)

sigma2y

Population variance of y \(\left( \sigma_{y}^{2} \right)\)

reps

Monte Carlo replications.

Details

The simple mediation model is given by $$ y_i = \delta_y + \dot{\tau} x_i + \beta m_i + \varepsilon_{y_{i}} $$

$$ m_i = \delta_m + \alpha x_i + \varepsilon_{m_{i}} $$

The parameters for the mean structure are $$ \boldsymbol{\theta}_{\text{mean structure}} = \left\{ \mu_x, \delta_m, \delta_y \right\} . $$

The parameters for the covariance structure are $$ \boldsymbol{\theta}_{\text{covariance structure}} = \left\{ \dot{\tau}, \beta, \alpha, \sigma_{x}^{2}, \sigma_{\varepsilon_{m}}^{2}, \sigma_{\varepsilon_{y}}^{2} \right\} . $$
