Continuous outcome: Simulation results given the minor allele frequency (MAF) = 0.5.

Means and standard errors of estimated coefficients for different paths, indirect effects (IEs) and proportions of the total effect mediated (PMs); and coverage probabilities of the 95% confidence intervals for the estimations of IE and PM, obtained based on 500 replicates, each with 1000 samples, given the minor allele frequency (MAF) = 0.5. Different scenarios were considered based on different values of a, b, and censoring percentage (CP), with a0 = 6, b0 = 1, and . (XLSX)
