cchain {vistla}

Synthetic continuous data representing a simple mediator chain

Description

Chain is generated from an uniform variable X by progressively adding gaussian noise, producing a mediator chain identical to this of the chain data, i.e.,

Y\rightarrow M_1 \rightarrow M_2 \rightarrow M_3 \rightarrow M_4 \rightarrow T

The set consists of 20 observations, and is tuned to be easily deciphered.

Usage

data(cchain)

Format

A data set with six numerical columns.
