CTA - Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis

Hi Hengky,

I had a look at your web site. Your book appears to be not in English, right?
If so, could you please give us a brief introduction on how to confirm / disconfirm reflective constructs with TETRAD 4.3.10-7? Perhaps there is a paper out describing this. However, I haven't found it yet.

Thanks
Reinhard

Hi Rein,

TETRAD analysis similar with another SEM package:
1. Evaluation measurement model used Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis (CTA)
2. Evaluation Structural Model.

In CTA you draw construct with all indicators and connect all construct similar PLS, and ran estimators box. Check output table, If sig. indicator < 0.05 = valid.

Next you ran structural equation model graph for evaluation structural model and check goodness of fit. Check output table, If sig P < 0.05 0r T > 1.96 your hypothesis accept.

Btw, for your question about different WarpPLS, SmartPLS and XLSTAT-PLSPM, I just short answer, Yes three software have different result. ;-)

Hengky

Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis in SmartPLS

Post by kunalgupta19 »

Hello,

I am a relatively new user of the SmartPLS software, and trying to determine if I can run CTA (Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis) to determine reflective vs. formative measurement model structures. I have read the often cited paper ("CTA in PLS Path Modeling" by Gudergan, Ringle, Wnde, and Will, 2008), and understand the thoery. I am now interested in determining the application of CTA within the Smart PLS environment. I read a few past posts on the topic, but given my level of familiarity with the software, they were a bit cryptic to me. Can someone please provide some guidance from an applied vs. the theoretical perspective.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

In this version, SmartPLS 2.0 cannot test CTA. But in SmartPLS 3.0 available (add CTA feature), please wait new version release.

Now, for solution you can used TETRAD software 4.3.10-7 for test CTA.

Best Regards,
Hengky

You really need to read the Bollen and Ting work in the 1990's early 2000s.
John Hipp also has done excellent work here.
I used the SAS macro.

Wilson, Bradley., Callaghan, William., Stainforth, Gillian (2007) “An Application of Vanishing TETRAD Analysis to a Brand Model.” International Review of Business Research Papers, 3 (2) pp. 456-485.

See a google search for the paper.
