HIMA is an R package for estimating and testing high-dimensional mediation effects in omic studies. HIMA can perform high-dimensional mediation analysis on a wide range of omic data types as potential mediators, including epigenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics. HIMA can also handle survival data mediation analysis and perform quantile mediation analysis.
