Step 3 MICOM

Dear Dr. Becker, I would very much want to know how values in the column entitled Mean - Original Difference ( GROUP_1 - GROUP_2 ) from the MICOM procedure (step 3) are calculated. As I understand from the paper Testing measurement invariance of composites using partial least squares for a given con...

PLS Algorithm versus Consistent PLS Algorithm

Hi everybody, I would need your help in understanding when it is appropriate to use PLS Algorithm and Consistent PLS Algorithm in SmartPLS 3 (or PLS Bootstrapping versus Consistent PLS Bootstrapping). I have already read the paper written by Dijkstra, T.K. and Henseler, J. (2012). Consistent and Asy...

I do not know to be a manual on SmartPLS. In order to understand what I need to analyze and interpret the data I read the posts on this forum and the articles which you can download from this site. However, at the very beginning, I watched the videos posted by Gaskin at the bottom of the following w...

Model cross-validation based on data-splitting approach

Following the suggestion made by Hair et al. (2011), I intend to cross-validate my model by making use of a holdout sample. However, I do not know which data should be compared in order to be able to state that the results can be generalized. The only paper which I identified to make use of a holdou...

I have already read the paper written by Markus Eberl in the Handbook of PLS but I do not understand how he calculated the values corresponding to diff. column in the table on page 507. Since he stat...
