findRecursiveSet {simsem}

Group variables regarding the position in mediation chain

Description

In mediation analysis, variables affects other variables as a chain. This function will group variables regarding the chain of mediation analysis.

Usage

findRecursiveSet(beta)

Arguments

beta

The regression coefficient in path analysis.

Value

The list of set of variables in the mediation chain. The variables in position 1 will be the independent variables. The variables in the last variables will be the end of the chain.
