Dear PLS-community, part of my PLS model contains four latent constructs (dimension 1, dimension 2 etc.), each having a path to another latent variable (my "overall judgment" construct). I am conducting a multigroup anaylisis and find significant differences between my groups regarding som...

Re: PC in groups not sig, but difference between groups sig/

Dear Dr. Becker, thank you very much for the quick reply. Indeed, the path coefficient in one of the groups is "barely insignificant at the 5% level" (significant at the 10% level) and also one is below 0 and one above, so it is probably exactly the situation you are talking about. Another...

Dear PLS community, I am currently "struggling" with a multigroup analysis in the new (3rd) version of SmartPLS and have some questions. I hope you might be able to help me: 1. First, in SmartPLS 2 it was apparently not possible to conduct an MGA straightaway with the software, but you had...
