Sensitivity analysis for overall indirect effect estimation and indirect effect decomposition of dental data involving binary ‘Sealant’ (M1) and continuous ‘AvgOHI’ (M2) mediators. Panel A shows the estimated overall indirect effect for varying correlations ρ1 (between Y*(t0, m1, m2) and M1*(t1)) and ρ2 (between Y*(t0, m1, m2) and M2(t2)). Panel B shows indirect effect estimation through ‘Sealant’, and Panel C shows indirect effect estimation through ‘AvgOHI’. Red surface shows the mediation effect estimate, the space between the two green surfaces represents the 95% CIs, and the black surface indicates zero mediation effect reference.
