F value?

Post by rasoul »

hi all
how we can measure f value with smartpls?
for measurement moderating effect must we have f value?
how much critical value for support moderating effect? higher than 1.96?

see this viewtopic.php?t=1255&highlight=value. f2 is also called effect size.
the original formula is f2 is : (R2included - R2 excluded)/(1 - R2 included)
but when all are independent variables (ie there is no indirect effect) the formula becomes - f2 = R2 / (1 - R2)

where
f2 = 0.02 is small
f2 = 0.15 is medium
f2 = 0.35 is large

but my problem is I have only one R2 as PLS output (only one dependent variable) which is about 0.81. In that case f2 becomes about 5.0. So I must be picking the wrong value.
