Data manipulations
1) The smartPLS data file is fixed. Often one need to calculate/add some new indicators, make a transformation etc. Now one has to do this outside smartPLS and create a new project. This could be solved by having a data editor, or better detach data from calculations, like in most programs like SPSS...

A formative construct within a cause chain
Consider the following part of a larger model. (ReflectiveX1, reflectiveX2…) --> (A formative construct) --> (ReflectiveY1…) Question: Can a formative construct be caused by something except its regressors? Do it make sense? Or has a formative construct have to be a leftmost construct in any chain?

Add variables, change data
Adding new variables to a smartPLS project need for a total redesign from scratch. In addition, when a good model is to be applied to a new data set, one has to redesign from scratch. . Something like “add variable” would be nice. The best thing could be that smartPLS used a EXCEL file as data sourc...

Multi-Group Analysis
There is a description that one can do Multi-Group Analysis. However, no “how”. The window that opens tells me to “select group”, and Groups A and groups B. But I find no option ta actually do so, like selecting a grouping variable. There are just red rectangles with a warning to “please select at l...

PLS vs. sem-PLS
Traditional partial least square finds directions in X-space and Y-space that have the highest covariance but also the highest variances. Using programs like jmp or SYSTAT the dimensionality chosen is the same in both spaces. How does that compare to the sem-PLS approach where one makes separate out...

Total regression coefficients
I found out myself: Use original metric, multiplying path and outer loadings, gives total regression coefficients. Howver, the path plot only gives correlations whatever I do with preferences??

Total regression coefficients
When running PLS in jmp, SYSTAT etc, one gets the overall regression coefficients between every measured X and every measured Y, in SYSTAT including std’s. How can I get those from smartPLS
