Ok great.

And what about the non significant path that becomes significant ?

Christian, Let me explain in more details. In my model I have 3 IV (A, B, and C) and 1 DV (D) and 1 moderator (M) Here are the results of the bootstrap simulation Main effects : A--> D = 0,24 B--> D = 0,19 C--> D = 0,06 (ns) (M--> D = -0,37) When I include the interaction term : A--> D = 0,36 B--> D...

Hello ! I hav a question regarding moderation effect. I am testing a model with one one IV (A) and one DV (B) and want to test the moderating effect of M on this path. When I test the main effect model (A --> B) the path is non significant. But, when I had the moderator (interaction term) the path A...

Hi bibo, for the relative gof you can see e.g. : Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi, Laura Trinchera, and Silvano Amato (2010) PLS Path Modeling: From Foundations to Recent Developments and Open Issues for Model Assessment and Improvement (PLS handbook). This paper is available online (relative gof is presente...

Dear PLS users, I was wondering how to estimate a relative Gof with SmartPLS (if possible). The relative GOF is computed by dividing the absolute GOF value by its maximum value achievable for the analysed set. In practical terms, how is estimated the maximum Gof value for a given set ? Thanks for an...

Dear members, I am actually trying to apply fimix segmentation to a path model integrating 1 criterion and two predictors (1 predictor is a second-order variable) and get suprizing results. The first step is to estimate the number of segments. To this end, I focus on the entropy index (EN). But each...

Dear Bido, Thank you for your answer. But I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. What I want to estimate is the f2 for each effect in the model in order to gauge the effect of each predictor in the model. To that purpose, Henseler et al. 2008 suggested to use this formula: f2 = (R2incl-R2e...

Dear all, I have a beginner question concerninr effect size (f2). Based on the formula f2 is computed as follows : (R2included - R2 excluded)/(1 - R2 included) Imagine I have a paht model with A-->C-->D B-->C-->D In this model, it is possible to apply the formula for C: A is excluded and the new R2 ...

Dear SmartPLSers,

I have a stupid question but I can't find the solution on my own. Are AVE and communality coefficent equal? If not, what is the difference between them?

Sorry for bothering you with such beginers' questions and Thank you for your help.

Hi,

does someone know what the expession "independent variables status" stands for? What does it refers to?

Thanks for answers.

Dear Bido, I thank you very much for your answer. In fact, you correctly undersood what I meant by "saturated model". It's a model in which all exogenous variables are related to each endogenous ones. As you recommend, I have computed an adujsted R2 for each model but, naturally, tey are d...

Hi everyone, I'm actually evaluating the predictive power of my model by comparing it to a saturated one. Consequently, I have 2 R2 (1 for the saturated model, and 1 for the structural model) and I would like to know if there is a mean to statistically compare these two indices. Is it possible to te...

Hi, I have a couple of questions concerning the calculation of the contribution of explanatory variables to the prediction of a dependent one : For Tenenhaus et al. (2005), this contribution can be estimated by the following formula : sum of Beta (path coef) * correlation but this make sense only wh...

Thank you for all.

I think I'll won't bothe you with my (stupid) questions any more.

Regards.

A last question :
For an adjusted R2, k = number of dependent variable. Does it means latent or manifest ?
