three type of variables

Post by ploylyjung »

Hi Guys,
I have a question.
In one of my latent variable, there are three manifest variables which I want to use to form a latent variable. These are continuous, binary, and ordinary variables. Can I use three type of variables to form a latent variable at the same time?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,

No, PLS path modeling requires metric or quasi-metric data.
