Hi,
I am undertaking a path analysis of factors associated with nursing home placement.
As my outcome is binary (nursing home placement) I am using the GSEM command in Stata 14.
I would like to calculate the indirect effects of a mediator variable which is continuous (stress) on the binary outcome variable (nursing home placement).
The Stata structural equation modelling reference manual (release 13) advises that the estat teffects command cannot be used with GSEM.
It would seem that the indirect effect needs to be calculated by hand using nlcom. Have I understood this correctly or is there an updated command available that would calculate indirect effects with GSEM?
Also, I need to obtain robust standard errors. Can this be done with nlcom?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Nora
