confirmatory factor analysis
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 2:40 am
May I use confirmatory factor analysis before applying partial least squares? is there any literature to support the use of the two approaches in an study?
Many MIS Quarterly articles do this. You find a collection of PLS articles in MISQ here:
