Hi, When we use Likert scale or similar scales, usually we do not have a normal distribution of the frequencies, then to use this kind of distribution to identify outliers (like z greater than 3 or 4, or even Mahalanobis distances) do not make sense. In these cases I prefer the approach used by ESS...

Hello.

The R2( 0<R2<1 ) of a formative HOC approximately equals 1 and R2 equals 1.0 if the LOCs completely explain all the variance of the HOC.

Hello. As i know, It is one of limitations in pls-sem. That is to say, in PLS-SEM, it is not usually allowed to use non-recursive(or reciprocal) model which has feedback loop.

However, i still have a suspicious point on this issue until now. It is still an on-going issue among researchers; In my pers...

Hi. Bido's explanation might be helpful. Yes. 1) Connect all LV one with each other (take care to have not recursive arrows).
