PLSc Group Comparison
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2019 10:34 am
Hello,
we want to analyze whether there are significant differences between two groups (Germany and USA) for our model. The algorithm has to be consistent PLS (PLSc). My problem is that Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) and Permutation implemented in SmartPLS3 follow the "normal" PLS-Algorithm. I am aware of the possibility to use a moderator variable, but I am also interest in other potential methods to test for significant differences between groups in PLSc. I read among others Klesel et al. (2019) (https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... /citations) and Becker et al. (2018) (https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... _Treatment), but I am not quite sure about the practical implementation in SmartPLS3.
I would really appreciate some advice or hints to effeciently test for differences between groups in PLSc.
Best regards, Lars
