Re: Getting N/A error while doing a consistent PLS Algorithm

Thank you, jmbecker. I don't think that it's a (multi)collinearity problem since all VIFs are between 1.19 and 1.70.

If I include the same construct (INFO with INFO1-8) in a larger model with other constructs, this problem doesn't occur.

Sample Size Requirement for Index Construction (Measurement Model)

My aim is to construct a formative measure (index) on the basis of the following hierarchical component model (HCM): one second-order construct (SOC), four first-order constructs (FOCs), and a total of 23 indicators (grouped into the 4 FOCs). (There is no structural model.) I am using the repeated i...

Re: Getting N/A error while doing a consistent PLS Algorithm

In this thread and the one that jmbecker has referenced (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3531), this problem is attributed to the consistent PLS algorithm in reflective measurement. I encounter this problem also with a formative construct and the standard PLS algorithm. Are the underlying reasons the same? ...

Re: Validating second order formative construct

When I estimate the (outer) weights and loadings of an HCM, SmartPLS gives me two values for each indicator: one weight / loading "from" the indicator "to" the 1st order construct (see output: CONS3 -> CONS) and one weight / loading from the indicator to the 2nd order construct (...
