Non-Response Bias

Post by spiking »

I like to double check if we can run the non-response bias (early versus late respondents) by using the PLS-MGA?

That is, I divide into two groups of data: early versus late.

Then after running PLS-MGA, I look under the p value column to see if less than 0.05 or more than 0.95 to determine significance?

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi,

Many researchers prefer to use Levene test or Hartley test to test it.

In the latest SmartPLS 3, when you run the PLS-MGA, it automatically removes the need to check for Levene's test.

We just need to see the p value to determine the significance of the difference in the path coefficients of the two groups of data.

** p<0.05 or p>0.95
