VAF criticism

Post by Sophie »

Hi,

I've read a couple of times in this forum that the application of the VAF has been criticised a lot in the past and that this is why it is not included in current articles on mediation.
Unfortunately, I have not found any paper explicitly criticising the VAF. Can anyone help me with that?
I am especially interested in the flaws the VAF has when it is used for testing multiple mediations.

Thanks a lot!
Sophie
