Experiment and IV treatment for Analysis
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2018 1:57 pm
I'm designing an experiment that has a 2x2 design and a few mediation paths to a single final DV. My study is roughly in the area of information systems. I've seen Bagozzi, R. P., Yi, Y., & Singh, S. P. (1991) and Streukens, S., Wetzels, M., Daryanto, A., & De Ruyter, K. (2010) on analyzing factorial experiments with PLS-SEM. I believe the 2x2 is all within the same causal model.
Is there anyone out there running their experiment condition dummy variables as multiple components of a formative latent construct? It seems like it might take better advantage of the PLS algorithm. I could treat my experiment as a latent construct and interpret the path loading and significance of the formative components, rather than having 3 paths to every other construct for the dummy variables.
I generated some test data to compare and it seems promising, but I'm not really interested in developing new methodology as an aspect of my project.
Any thoughts?
