Invited Commentary: Frontiers of Power Assessment in Mediation Analysis
Abstract:
The development of tools for power and sample-size calculations for mediation analysis has lagged far behind the development of methods. The accompanying paper by Rudolph et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2020;189(12):1559-1567) is a helpful contribution in using simulations as a tool for power calculations for more complex methods and settings. Much work remains to be done in the development of easy-to-use packages and simple online websites for carrying out power and sample-size calculations for mediation analysis. Much remains to be learned with respect to the relative power of different methods in different settings. There will likely be feedback between these 2 important frontiers of the tools we have available and of our understanding of power when conducting mediation analysis.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
