Interested in using the wonderful _sgmediation_ command that Phil
Ender provided, I wonder if the use of _sgmediation_ is restricted to
linear regression with continuous dependent variable. I have a case
where the dependent variable is categorical or even dichotomous, and
I've been using probit for the main (total effect) for the dichotomous
dependent variable. I'd like to use _sgmediation_ for the mediational
analysis.

-sgmediation- was not meant for models with either binary mediators or
binary response variables. I suggest you try -binary_mediation-
(findit binary_mediation) which estimation using the product of
coefficients approach with all of the variables standardized. The
command syntax is very similar to -sgmediation-.
