A suite of functions for performing mediation analysis with high-dimensional mediators. In addition to centralizing code from several existing packages for high-dimensional mediation analysis, we provide organized, well-documented functions for a handle of methods which, though programmed their original authors, have not previously been formalized into R packages or been made presentable for public use. The methods we include cover a broad array of approaches and objectives, and are described in detail by both our companion manuscript—"Methods for Mediation Analysis with High-Dimensional DNA Methylation Data: Possible Choices and Comparison"—and the original publications that proposed them. The specific methods offered by our package include the Bayesian sparse linear mixed model (BSLMM) by Song et al. (2019); high-dimensional mediation analysis (HDMA) by Gao et al. (2019); high-dimensional multivariate mediation (HDMM) by Chén et al. (2018); high-dimensional linear mediation analysis (HILMA) by Zhou et al. (2020); high-dimensional mediation analysis (HIMA) by Zhang et al. (2016); latent variable mediation analysis (LVMA) by Derkach et al. (2019); mediation by fixed-effect model (MedFix) by Zhang (2021); pathway LASSO by Zhao & Luo (2022); principal component mediation analysis (PCMA) by Huang & Pan (2016); and sparse principal component mediation analysis (SPCMA) by Zhao et al. (2020). Citations for the corresponding papers can be found in their respective functions.
