Hi,

there is a new "key feature" in this forum - check the following announcement:

Hi,

you do not draw such relationships in pls path models.

Hi, I do usually do not include moderating effect in PLS path models. However, Chin provides at hint in the following document (slide 52): http://disc-nt.cba.uh.edu/chin/icis2000plstalk.pdf He recommends to test this approach in Monte Carlo simulation. In addition to that, I suggest to analyse the c...

Hi,

could you please give us more information on what you need - if you perpare a list and briefly explain how to calculate it we might be able to include your suggestions in the next release (--> okay, sample size is clear; --> df for bootstrapping...?).

Hi, these are the t-values of the “regular” (multiple) regression in the structural model. We just developed those values for internal test – if they go along with the distribution-free character of SmartPLS should be discussed in the forum “FAQ (Methodology)“. As stated in other post, we did not in...

Hi, these t-statistics refer to the posthoc analysis by Ramaswamy et al. as proposed by Hahn et al. ( http://forum.smartpls.com/viewtopic.php?t=21 ), pp. 262-263, and not to the FIMIX-PLS procedure. This posthoc analysis in not implemented into SmartPLS (and probably will not be because concerns exi...

Hi Thorsten,

we have this option in SmartPLS. Press the "Settings" button, then it is possible to change the bootstrapping-settings (number of cases and number of resamples) - either for a certain project or the entire workspace (all projects in your workspace).

Hi,

you cannot mix directions in a certain block. Latent varriables are either determined by mode A (reflective) or mode B (formative).

Hi Stefan, good work! We had this in SmartPLS before, forgot to include it in the current release and will definitely include this feature in the next release, again! Well, I created two spreadsheets in Excel (cross-validated communality and cross-validated redundancy) for calculating the Q² predict...

Hi Stefan, I'd be happy to do it (and post a corresponding sheet for the community's benefit) if I knew how to do it. that sounds great - I definitely wanted to spend more time on these things, but other things stop me... I send you one of my Excel-files next week (they are on my PC at the Universit...

Hi, due to limited resources (time and funds) this might take a while – implementing and extensively testing takes a lot of time... and we are involved in a lot of other projects at the moment. However, the most important features are included in SmartPLS 2.0 M2 – all additional things can be easily...

Hi, obviously, your data are in the correct format: first row --> variable names (text is allowed) other rows --> the cells are completely filled with numbers, even for missing values (a certain number like -999 is used to indicate missing values). Sometime it happens to me that I cannot import such...
