DESCRIPTION:Identifying direct and indirect effects is a common problem in
  the social science and medical literature\, and can be described as follo
 ws.  A treatment is administered and a response is recorded. However there
  is a variable that somehow mediates the effect of the  treatment on the r
 esponse\, channelling a part of the treatment effect. In this talk I show 
 that how to formulate this problem and disentangle the direct and indirect
  effects using the decision theoretic framework for causal inference. \n\n
