Refferences to unstandardization

Does anybody have any references to articles discussing the concept of unstandardization? When performing a performance importance analysis, there seems to consensus that the latent variables should be unstandardized. Although I very much agree with this. I can't seem to be able to find any article...

Plot of Lnl

Probably a more nice than need feature, but it would indeed be nice to have a visual plot of LnL pr. iteration of FIMIX to evaluate whether the algorithm has stabilized, an optimum achieved, etc. or more Iterations are needed.

The plot could be LnL or perhaps CAIC over itteration

GPL

How about releasing SmartPLS under a GPL License? I know some java. Probably others know a lot more, wouldn't there be enough community support for the development possibilities to be given to the entire community?

Soting of variables

In datasets you often have variables like: q1,q2,q3,q4,q5,q6,q7,q8,q9,q10,q11,q12......... When these go into SmartPLS, they are sorted, in both the gui and the output like: q1,q11,q12,q2,q3........ This does not seem intuitive. Would it perhaps be possible to change the sorting order, or perhaps ha...

In other words, you are confirming that the inner weights (path coeficients) are standardized ?

Aha, super. Thank you very much :-). Now things are getting a bit clearer. I know some of these Index calculations, and how they are used. I'm quite familiar with the use of index for LVs, but I've never seen the index values for the path coeficients, which is probably why I was a bit confused. Is t...

Ok, super. :-) What article was that? The link didn't seem to lead to an article.

calculation of unstandardized weight

I would like to calculate the unstandardized weight (like a regression coefficient) between two latent wariables. I take it that since PLS operates on the standardiced LV, the path coefficient (weight) should be interpreted as: a change of X standard deviation in LV1 is going to produce a change in ...

hmmm. the link seems to point to an overview page with a lot of topics? I have searched as well, but found no result (might be looking at the wrong thing) I know what the path coefficients are, and I know that they can be standardiced weights or unstandardized (regression) weights, but working with ...

Path Coefficients in report

Could anybody explain the difference between the Path Coefficients in the Index Values(results) and the PLS (Calculation results) parts of the standard report?
