I am using JMP Student Edition to conduct a mediation analysis using the Structural Equation Models platform. My model contains three observed variables:
REG_PRESS as the predictor, GOV_STR5 as the mediator, and CLIENT_OUT as the outcome.
The model runs successfully, and I can obtain the Indirect Effects and Specific Indirect Effects results. For the specific mediated relationship through GOV_STR5, JMP reports an indirect effect of approximately 0.094, together with the standard error, Wald Z statistic and p-value.
For my analysis, I would like to obtain a 95% bootstrap confidence interval for the indirect effect using 5,000 bootstrap resamples. However, I cannot find a bootstrap option in the red-triangle menu of the Structural Equation Models platform in the Student Edition. I have attached a screenshot showing the available options.
Could someone please advise whether bootstrapping of indirect effects is available in JMP Student Edition? If it is available, where can I access the option and specify the number of bootstrap samples? If it is not directly available through the SEM platform, is there a recommended JSL approach or alternative procedure within JMP for obtaining a 5,000-resample bootstrap confidence interval for the mediation effect?
Many thanks for any guidance.
