Natural Direct Effect(NDE)

Goal: To reduce the effect of the overcontrolled mediator value, we can use natural direct effect to model the effect.

Scenario: Berkeley Admissions Paradox

Definition: NDE=P(YM=M0=1do(X=1))P(YM=M0=1do(X=0))NDE = P(Y_{M = M_0} = 1 | do(X = 1)) – P(Y_{M = M_0} = 1 | do(X = 0))
