Hi smartPLS-developers!
Are there any plans or a time line for implementing the proposed algorithm as proposed here:
Schuberth, F., Henseler, J., & Dijkstra, T. K. (2016). Partial least squares path modeling using ordinal categorical indicators. Quality & Quantity. http://doi.org/10.1007/s11135-016-0401-7
or here:
Cantaluppi, G. (2012). A Partial Least Squares Algorithm Handling Ordinal Variables also in Presence of a Small Number of Categories. arXiv:1212.5049 [Stat]. Retrieved from http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.5049
I believe I'm not the only one working with survey data and as far as my understanding goes, this would improve result-quality.
Thanks for a quick info!
Jan
PS: If you happen to have an R package tip which uses either of these algorithms I'd be glad :)

Re: Handling of ordinal variables
It is on our list for future releases, but not for the next release. We have some other high priorities and thoroughly testing new features also takes a lot of time.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the Info. Can understand this and appreciate the testing efforts.

Re: Handling of ordinal variables
More detailed explanation about ordinal variable can be viewed later on PLS Handbook, edited (2018). I think, this algorithm will be added.
