Hi everyone,
In my research, I have a dependent variable that is categorical (presence of innovation, answers: yes/no).
Is it still possible to do the normal PLS analyses (bootstrapping etc.) or do I need to do additional analyses?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Categorical dependent variable
Hi
PLS requires metric variables. You get results but must change the interpretation (which is very tricky). It's like in regression when you use a dependend dummy coded variable instead a metric variable as required - the analysis changes into a logit/probit model.

Hi,
May be BSEM (Bayesian Structural Equation modeling) more appropiate for handle your cases with DV category.

Re: Categorical dependent variable
There was more PLS work on this in the 1980s. The Lohmoller text might provide some guidance.
