Table 5.

Posterior 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles for associative, disassociative, and mediated effects and for proportion of population in principal strata mediator classes: unconstrained under the stochastic monotonicity assumption and under the deterministic monotonicity assumption. Unadjusted and adjusted for age and race
