comparison of path coefficients
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2006 8:44 pm
Hi,
I would like to test if one path coefficient (e.g. b1) is bigger than another (b2). Usually I would use (after Regression):
t=b1-b2/(varb1+varb2-2covb1b2)^0,5
Is this test possible with PLS coefficients, too? Unfortunately the covariance is not provided - or does PLS assume the Cov to be zero?
Thanks a lot
Sandra
