Mediation analysis

[ghammad]

Hello,

first, thanks a lot for making Bambi available to the community. Very useful.

I followed PYMC use case example on Bayesian Mediation Analysis but failed to translate it to a Bambi model.

Would it be possible to either add such example in Bambi's doc or to provide some guidance on how to do it?

Thanks you in advance.

Hi @ghammad ! Thanks for opening the issue.

I just had a look at the model in the link you shared. I think it could be reproduced with a custom family. If I can, I will have a try in the next few days. In the meantime, just let me know if you have any update.

Hi @tomicapretto

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I can help you out with setting up a custom family. However, I'd be happy to try it and compare it the original pyMC implementation if it helps.

Thanks a lot for the offering! I'm currently traveling but I'll have a try when I get back home (~ 3 weeks). I'll try to keep you posted!
