Probably not. There is generally very little research showing that PLS would be able to reject false models and there is at least one study that shows that this is indeed the case http://aisel.aisnet.org/icis2010_submissions/21/ How exactly to treat multicollinearity depends on your data and researc...

You can check my paper on the topic at http://aisel.aisnet.org/icis2011/procee ... methods/8/

If you cannot access that, you can probably find an earlier version with google scholar.

Smart PLS does not report residuals. (This is a severe shortcoming, because residual analysis is a standard post-estimation method for all regression analysis based approaches.) If you want to orthogonalize the indicators, you need to do that with some other statistical software (PASW, Stata, R, etc...

#3 is not orthogonalization. For orthogonalization, you need to first center (I prefer to standardize)the variables that form the interaction term, then regress the product of these two centered variables on the centered variables. Use the residual as the interaction term. If you have variables A an...

The latest version of our paper on method variance with PLS can be found now at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/694399/ICIS-method-variance.pdf The correct citation for this is Rönkkö, Mikko and Jukka Ylitalo (2011) "PLS marker variable approach to diagnosing and controlling for method variance". ...

A couple of the Herman Wold's original papers argue that PLS model can be estimated with covariance matrix as the data. Also, the LVPLSC program in the LVPLS software package should be able to estimate such models. Unfortunately, LVPLS does not seem to be available anymore and the description of how...

Actually, you cannot estimate the significance of correlations with SPSS no more than you can estimate the significance of the path coefficients by comparing these to the appropriate t-distribution. The correlation between PLS scores does not follow any known sampling distribution, so you would need...

This is bit of a bumping an old thread, by we have published a new version of our PLS CMV paper. Also analyzed the Liang et al method and found out that it does not work the way that the paper argues it does. See this thread and the links there.

You should note that the Liang et al. does actually nothing to control for method variance. The reason for this is explained in detail in our paper that is cited in this thread. We also provide an alternative with simulation evidence supporting the method. http://forum.smartpls.com/viewtopic.php?t=1...

A more recent version of our PLS CMV paper can be found at

http://www.hut.fi/u/mronkko/PLSCMV.pdf

It contains a better explanation on how to use our method.

This paper will be presented in ICIS 2010 MISQ Workshop and then will be submitted to journal.
