Testing for Bimodal Distribution in SmartPLS3

Post by DennisBorscheid »

Hi there,

my data set has two correlations which do not make sense (one being that if you pay people more money, they become less satisfied).
My professor told me now to check if the distribution of this data set has a bimodal distribution.

I can't seem to find the function in SmartPLS though.
Does anyone know who to do it?

Regards
Dennis

You can inspect the shape of the distribution using the Histogram in the Bootstrapping algorithm.
