funmediation: Functional Mediation for a Distal Outcome

Fits a functional mediation model with a scalar distal outcome. The method is described in detail by Coffman, Dziak, Litson, Chakraborti, Piper & Li (2021) <arxiv:2112.03960>. The model is similar to that of Lindquist (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.695640> although allowing a binary outcome as an alternative to a numerical outcome. The current version is a minor bug fix in the vignette. The development of this package was part of a research project supported by National Institutes of Health grants P50 DA039838 from the National Institute of Drug Abuse and 1R01 CA229542-01 from the National Cancer Institute and the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research.
