Mediation (David A. Kenny)
davidakenny.net/cm/mediate.htmAnother measure of mediation is the proportion of the effect that is mediated, or the indirect effect divided by the total effect or ab/c or equivalently 1 - c'/c. Such a measure though theoretically informative is very unstable and should not be computed if c is small. Note that this measure can be greater than ...
