STONE-GEISSER Q2

Hi everyone,

I'm actually testing a path model with smartpls and I would like to know how to estimate the Stone-Geisser Q2 of this model.

Moreover, I do not understand what rendundancy and communality stand for. How can these indices be interpreted ?

Thanks for answer.

David.

Dear David,

you have to do the Blindfolding procedure in Smart PLS (take care of the right settings!). To interpret the results and the quality criteria (Q²/ cv-redundancy, cv-communality a.s.o) please read Tennenhaus/ Vinzi/ Chatelin/ Lauro 2005 (pp. 159-205) in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis.

Hope this helps.

BR
