Hi,
I’m interested in calculating the impact of manifest variables in the ultimate (dependent) latent variable. As I read in forum, I’ll use the outer weights but, after estimation procedure (Mode B), some of these are with negative sign while others have positive sign. Is this possible?
Can I use PLS path modelling with standardized objective data?
Thanks for your helps.

Outer weight sign
Re: Outer weight sign
Specify the model with reflective indicators; this only impacts the method by which PLS weights are estimated. Once the weights are estimated their signs will match their correlations with the dependent variable(s). Your problem is likely multicollinearity among the indicators.pipposca wrote:Hi,
