In PLS why do we get positive t-values even when the path coefficient is negative?

Re: t-values
I also have the same problem. Positive t-value but negative path coefficient. How do I solve this issue?
Re: t-values
This is not a bug. We report the absolute t-value as indicated by the "|" around the statistic. Researchers are usually only interested in the magnitude of the t-value for significance testing. The sign of the coefficient of interest gives you the sign of your effect.
