This article explores the challenge of excessive zeros in white matter hyperintensities (WMH) counts, which is a significant issue for mediation analysis due to potential violations of statistical assumptions. To address this, researchers propose using ZILoN, ZINB, or ZIP distributions that can accommodate excess zeros and overdispersion. These distributions are chosen because they allow for flexible representation of the mediator's variability, considering factors contributing to its zero-inflated nature. The proposed method aims to provide a robust framework for estimating and testing mediation effects under the counterfactual outcomes framework, offering a comprehensive analysis of potential causal pathways affecting cognitive aging and neurodegenerative diseases related to WMH.

This article explores the challenge of excessive zeros in white matter hyperintensities (WMH) counts, which is a significant issue for mediation analysis due to potential violations of statistical assumptions. To address this, researchers propose using ZILoN, ZINB, or ZIP distributions that can accommodate excess zeros and overdispersion. These distributions are chosen because they allow for flexible representation of the mediator's variability, considering factors contributing to its zero-inflated nature. The proposed method aims to provide a robust framework for estimating and testing mediation effects under the counterfactual outcomes framework, offering a comprehensive analysis of potential causal pathways affecting cognitive aging and neurodegenerative diseases related to WMH.
