The CR is the Critical Ratio. This is essentially a z-score. You can plug this into Excel or into any online z score to p value calculator. The general rule is that a z-score with an absolute value greater than 1.96 will be significant at the 0.05 level.
Power analysis just says whether or not we are able to detect significant effects that actually do exist. f2 effect size tells us about the strength of those relationships.
Awesome video and thanks Dr. But i have a question, the arrow predictor as in your case is 2, but if my model have 2 mediator and categorical moderator, based on my understanding, I need to take the maximum arrow directed to a variable an in my case, it is my dependent variable (Purchase intention = 6 arrow pointed from independent variables), as my other 2 mediator only have 2 arrow directed to them. Am i right ? And categorical moderator no need to included and counted the arrow (as in SMARTPLS the categorical moderator through dummies are also have arrow directed to my Purchase intention). Am i right ? hope you can clarify me and thanks in advance.
I think this process is automatically achieved when MGA is done. Incase we don't have groups in the data, then we can go for this post-hoc power analysis. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Prof. I have done pls predict. SHALL I DO THIS POST HOC POWER ANALYSIS ALSO? And just tell , do i need to do pls predict and post hoc power analysis for the complete data and the groups as well. I have to do mga in my study
You can do post-hoc power analysis for any non-significant paths. You would do this separately for separate groups because the sample size is different, and power depends largely upon sample size.
The power test being done in this video is for f^2, not for the individual regression paths. The online calculator being used is testing the proposition that variance explained by the regression model (R^2) is significantly larger than random error (1-R^2). Thus: f^2=(R^2/(1-R^2)) In other words, is the ratio of variance explained of the dependent variable larger than random error? I don't feel we can make statements about the power of independent regression coefficients (slopes) based on this technique. The closest we can get to ask about the individual predictors using this approach is to ask if an independent variable has a sizeable impact on R^2 compared to error. This would be easily done using: f^2=(Rab^2 - Ra^2)/(1-Rab^2)) where Rab^2 is the R^2 with all the independent variables included, and Ra^2 would be the R^2 if we removed the independent variable(s) of interest.

this was not ok to have a sample size using krejice morgon table? still, I have to do a power analysis. but for moderated mediation model 7, I don't know how to handle it. plz assist me
Dear James, as the smart pls produce p values as an indication of significance via bootstrapping, could p values indicate also the statistical power due to 5000 sampling? Is there still a need for power analysis? Regards,
Statistical power is determined by other things. Not by p-values. Statistical power is determined by R2, included predictors, sample size, and desired effect sizes.
@@Gaskination Sincere thanks for the clarification. Would it be statically possible or meaningful to get a statistical power result as equal to 1 or more?
Dear Mr Gaskin, I have conducted a pilot survey in 136 teachers to test a scale with 26 items. I know that the number of the participants isnt adequate for CFA and i will face difficulties in reporting my results. Is it possible to justify with a post hoc power analysis the number of the participants? Thank you very much in advance.
CFA is kind of funny. If you have good, clean, valid, and reliable factors, then 136 will be fine. It all has to do with the amount of error. Less error means less sample size required. One way to artificially deflate error is to do a bootstrap. Some would also argue that you could do your analysis in PLS software in order to reduce the sample size requirement. See articles by Ringle, Hair, or Chin about PLS.

As always a very useful video in SEM modelling. Thank you again James

Thank you James. How can I do power analysis for Mediator and Moderators?
Awesome video and thanks Dr. But i have a question, the arrow predictor as in your case is 2, but if my model have 2 mediator and categorical moderator, based on my understanding, I need to take the maximum arrow directed to a variable an in my case, it is my dependent variable (Purchase intention = 6 arrow pointed from independent variables), as my other 2 mediator only have 2 arrow directed to them. Am i right ? And categorical moderator no need to included and counted the arrow (as in SMARTPLS the categorical moderator through dummies are also have arrow directed to my Purchase intention). Am i right ? hope you can clarify me and thanks in advance.
Correct. It's the number of arrows pointing into the variable.
I think this process is automatically achieved when MGA is done. Incase we don't have groups in the data, then we can go for this post-hoc power analysis. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I don't think a power analysis is executed in MGA.
What is the different between power analysis and effect size f^2 please.BR
This is a slightly off topice question. But, how do I manually calculate the P given the Regression Weight Est., the S.E. & the C.R. ?
Thanks,

Prof, if i have 3 groups and am doing MGA in smartpls. Then shall i do this piwer analysis for all three groups separately?
Correct. You must have enough power for each group when testing multigroup hypotheses.

For moderated mediation, it is still multiple regression -- so, you can use the same calculator.

@@adamkahraman3122 1.00 is possible, but more than 1.00 should be mathematically impossible.
