Dear Hengky, in the meantime I found out that SmartPLS deletes the observations completely [alternative 1)] . So I guess there's still room for improvement :-D In their book "A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)" Hair et al. (2013) provide recommendation...

Thanks for the advice, Mikko!

Dear fellow researchers, dear SmartPLS developers the data set I am using contains quite a bit of missing values. I read that there a re two ways of dealing with it - mean replacement and casewise replacement - and that casewise replacement really is casewise deletion. In case of casewise deletion, ...

Dear Professor Ringle, dear fellow researchers, the data set I am using contains quite a bit of missing values. In fact, I think there are few observations that have no missing values at all. In case of casewise deletion, how exactly does it work? I see 2 ways to deal with missing values: Way 1) Obs...

Dear fellow researchers, I have read about the bias-corrected confidence interval and figured that it requires bootstrapping the SmartPLS-bootstrap-distribution (i.e. bootstrapping the bootstrap).* Has anyone of you successfully tried to do this? I would be interested how to do this using standard t...

BTW: I am no arts expert, but to the best of my knowledge "Cranach" refers to two painters in the 15th and 16th century or so :-) What you were refering to is "Cronbach's Alpha". I don't want to be Mr. Know-It-All, but just in case you are using it in your publication... Best Joh...

Thanks a lot Hengky! Wow, this book really is a bargain ;-) Nevertheless, it seems to cover many important topics. But it is more like a general PLS-SEM guide, rather than a manual/handbook for SmartPLS, isn't it? I was actually looking for something like this Stata manual, giving an overview of com...

Isn't there anybody who can tell me where to find a SmartPLS handbook? I keep searching for features of SmartPLS, which sometimes takes very long as I have to go through all the reports to find it. This is very frustrating :-(

Thank you everybody!

Dear all, I would like to follow up on this discussion, if I may. Situation: I have a formative construct that embraces 15 indicators. So I used Stata to calculate the VIFs by running 15 regressions (regressing each of the indicators of the construct on the other 14 indicators) and let Stata calcula...

Dear all,

in this forum many users refer to the SmartPLS Handbook (e.g., viewtopic.php?t=2426&highlight=handbook). However, I couldn't find it. Where can I download or buy one?

Thanks in advance!
