Dear Colleagues,
My model is compounded. That is,
Y=X1+X2+X3 (Y= binary dependent variable with very rare case of "1")
but, one independent variable of the equation (X2, continuous
variables) is a function of X1; X2=X1+ X4
As you see in the above, the major independent variable is X1.
X1 has a direct effect on Y and also an indirect effect via X2 on Y.
I want to estimate X1's direct and indirect effects via on Y.
How can set models for this relationship and I estimate X1's direct
and indirect effects in STATA?
I'd very appreciate it, if anyone can give me an advice.
Thank you,
Charlie
