Sarstedt et al. (2011) approach for MGA

[AAljabr]

Hi all,

I have one question regarding using the approach proposed by Sarstedt et al. 2011. The question is that when checking whether the path coefficient of one group falls in the confidence interval of the another group, should I use the path coefficient of the original sample (O) or the path coefficient of the Sample mean (M)?

Thanks

I think we have discussed this elsewhere in the forum: Do not use the confidence set approach. One problem is that confidence intervals are allowed to overlap to a certain degree if you want to test on a 5% level.

Dear Dr. Becker,

Thank you very much.

I will consider other methods.
