Hi,

can I use PLS only for metrical data?

I have a questionnaire with 5 different answer possibilities ("I totally agree" - "I totally disagree") ? Can I use PLS for the analysis?

Thank you very much for your help!

Yes PLS can be used only with metric data, just like regression. Nominal variables should be coded into dummy variables
