Chowdhury's Non Parametric Mediation Model The non-parametric mediation statistics is a non-parametric regression based statistics to predict the influence of a qualitative independent variable when another independent variable have an effect on a qualitative dependent. For example variable A has indirect effect on variable B but the also the variable C has a direct effect on variable B; then, we can claim the variable C as a mediator and it might have a mediation effect on variable C. It establish the mediation effect of variable C we need to check whether the strength of effect of variable A on variable B goes down in presence of variable C in independent list, when variable A and variable C are corelated to each other. Non-parametric correlation coefficients such as Kendal's Tau, Spearman's correlation, etc. could be computed to check relationships between 3 or more variables when the study was conducted with related sample design. Then we apply the non-parametric regres...
