Hi Kristina,

e.g. it is stated at the following article, p. 305-306: "Henseler, J., Ringle, C.M., & Sinkovics, R.R. (2009). The Use of Partial Least Squares Path Modeling in International Marketing. Advances in International Marketing 20."

Best regards,

Hi Christina,

the df's for your t-statistic are the number of bootstrap-samples - 1.

Dear PLS-Expert-users,

I am also very much interested in this topic. Any comments are highly appreciated.

Best regards, Stephan

You can choose between mean replacement and casewise deletion. Multiple imputation or ml is not provided by Smart-PLS and needs to be applied with a different statistical package up front.

Best regards,

Stephan

In case anybody is interested in this topic: 1) The sign and value of the path coefficient of the interaction term works out fine. 2) The effects described in the previous post can be driven by outliers in the dataset (in my case, one (!!!) outlier-datapoint was responsible for these weird results)....

Hi all, I just wanted to bring this topic back on the agenda, because I am really concerned about it. My big problem is the following: I have a model which consists of the IV's A and B, an interaction term A*B, and a DV C. What I oberserve is that in my model there is a positive path coefficient fro...

Hi Joe, I was also wondering a little bit about this because 1.3 does not seem to be that much in absolute terms. On the other hand MC seems to be the only explanation for negative weights so far. In addition, Bido's calculations show that even VIF's between 1 and 1.43 may have adverse effects: http...

Hi Baran,

using the search-function should always be the first step before posting. E.g., this would yield the following result:

Your questions are answered there.

Best, Stephan

Thanks a lot Bido! I will consider your helpful suggestions!

Hi Evangelos,

run the bootstrap, then open the default report. You can find the se's for the loadings, weights and path coefficients in the corresponding categories (you have to scroll to the right :) ).

Best, Stephan

This makes no sense to me...you need to be more precise to obtain useful support.

Hi, using the 'Search'-function should always be the first step before posting, e.g.: http://forum.smartpls.com/viewtopic.php?t=1062&highlight=tvalue Run the bootstrap (cases=observations in your sample, samples >= 1000 to get stable results). The resulting value displayed over the relationships...

Dear all, I have three important questions concerning moderation in PLS. I have two reflective independent LV's (A,B) that predict one reflective (dependent) LV (C). I created an interaction term (A*B) and used the standardised scores for term creation as recommended by Chin et al. (2003). My questi...

Dear Bido, Thank you for your comments. There is one issue I am currently struggling with: In my sample (which comprises ~ 100 observations by now) I have a formative construct, where some of the nine indicator-weights are negative. However, multicollinearity does not seem to be the problem. VIF's a...
