Hello all,
I calculated the cronbachs a in SPSS and SmarPLS and i found a slight difference. I guess this is caused by rounding errors.
I also did a simple regression in SPSS and the same in SmartPLS. I found significant different between R-square and the path-coefficients.
Could anybody explain why?
Thanks you very much!

Hi,
minor differences are caused by rounding indifferences in different software applications.
However, the regression results in SPSS, R and SmartPLS are identical. You probably used a linear regression with constant term in your analyses.
