Handling of ordinal variables
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2016 10:22 am
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!

PS: If you happen to have an R package tip which uses either of these algorithms I'd be glad :)
