Re: turn off your shared folder and install

Hi all, My suggestion is don't store any datafile and pls file on the window desktop or shared folder. I use dropbox on my Mac with MACOSX and WIN7. This allows me to swap (output, image and data) files and a 30 day backup is made automatically. You get 2Gb free when you register and you can get ext...

Hi Mahmood,

Henky is right:
Hengkov wrote:P < 0.05 = T Statistics > 1.96
This is generally used in science, however you may also test at a higher significance: P < .01 = T > 2,576, or even P < .001 = T > 3,291.

Hi Indah, Based on the assumption that IV -> DV is your model, your R² appears to be small-to-medium (Cohen, 1988) with a significant path coefficient. Whether your model has a good fit depends on the GoF. A good references to check is Wetzels, M., Odekerken-Schröder, G., & Van Oppen, C. (2009)....

Hi Harald,

From your question I interpret the "impulse" to be the independent variable(s) and "response" to be the dependent variable(s) with causal relations between them. In that case I think it would.

Hi Hengky, Thanks, that looks like an excellent paper I can use in my research. I will study it in more detail later :-) Hi Mahmood, You'll need to create a correlation table (correlations can be found in the standard report) that leads to a triangle. In the correlation table replace the diagonal co...
