Dear Smart-PLS-Users,

I have a question concerning the non-initiated users of PLS structural equations.

Could you please recommend some basic, simple PLS related literature that could help understanding the method?

Best,
Raluca

Raluca,

Assuming you have a fair knowledge of latent variable modeling in general - a few good places to start other than the SmartPLS forum below. Some don't even require much knowledge of LV to start. Based on what you say, I might start with the Falk and Miller book.

A short description of PLS: http://www2.gsu.edu/~mkteer/relmeth.html#pls

Wynne Chin’s website: http://disc-nt.cba.uh.edu/chin/indx.html - look for links to powerpoint presentations that give an overview.

Falk, R. Frank and Nancy B. Miller (1992), A Primer for Soft Modeling, Akron, Ohio: The University of Akron Press.

Haenlein, Michael and Andreas M. Kaplan, “A Beginner’s Guide to Partial Least Squares Analysis,” Understanding Statistics, 3 (4), 283-297. - compares PLS to SEM.


Best regards,
