Hello,
I want to calculate the LV index values.
I know the formula is LV = w1MV1 + w2MV2 + ... + wkMVk
I have found out that the w's are in the "measurement model".
But where do I found the MV1 and so on? :-)
Please let me know how to calculate the LV.
Than you
Best regards,
Dorthe
How to calculate LV Index Values
hello, How are you?
if your Latent variable is a reflective construct,
the score is:
LV=(I1+I2+I3...+In)/n
where: Ii: indicator i, and
n: number of indicators.
If you variable is a Formative construct.
You have to see the outer weights (wi) of each indicator (i),
the score is:
LV=I1*w1+I2*w2+I3*w3...+In*wn
You found the outer weights in the "Report", "outer weights".
But first you have to check the significance of each formative indicator.
the "outer weight" must have a t-value >1,96 ; and "outer loading" value>0,50.
Saludos,

Hi,
In the new SmartPLS I found the weights in the IPMA analysis under 'outer weights' - rescaled. But some of my weights are negative - How do I handle this?
I'm writing my master thesis, thank you.
