Hotelling's T2 t² measurement invariance

Questions about the implementation and application of the PLS-SEM method, that are not related to the usage of the SmartPLS software.

Hotelling's T2 t² measurement invariance

Post by nicefreak »

Hello everyone,

I am trying to do a multi-group comparison and want to assess the measurement invariance.
I would like to try an approach using Hotelling's T²

Has anybody tried it with PLS? How do I adapt the formula so it is easy to implement?

Thanks for any comments,
Martin

For a general introduction, please refer to

For S1 and S2 one should be able to use the Standard error of the indicators from the PLS bootstrap output.

my problem is, how n1 n2 and p can be obtained from the PLS output. Is n1 the sample size of group 1 and n2 the sample size of group 2? What do I then put in for p? (the number of bootstraps does not make sense)

Again, many thanks for any suggestions

Martin
