Consistent PLS bootstrapping taking ages

Post by Brusset_X »

Hi,
I am trying to make a consistent bootstrapping analysis of a model with 5 latent constructs and 20 items. there are 140 records in the database and no omissions. I have no difficulty to do a PLS Algorithm or a simple bootstrapping calculation (even with 5000 samples). however, I started doing a consistent bootstrapping analysis with 5000 samples this morning at 10:30 and this afternoon at 7 PM my machine is still going with the 4 cores occupied at 100%. It has got to a point where I can't do anything else, SmartPLS is hogging 100% of the machine.
Question 1: is this normal?
Question 2 : how many samples should I call for in a consistent bootstrapping?

Any replies welcome!!!

Do you mean that I should disable the Power save Mode on my PC? I don't think that this is the matter. Especially as my PC is a desktop one, not a laptop and that I already have an advanced Power mode profile which specifically states that the Processor power management mode is set on 100% when idle and 100% when working. Additionally, my C: drive is a SSD and it is stated not to go on sleep mode.
Any other comment welcome.
