Hi,
it's my first time to use Smart-Pls and I have some beginner-questions.
1) I have a formative model and I know, that I have to check the multicollinearity. I read, that I should use VIF, but I can't find it. Am I blind?
2) To evaluate the structural model one criteria is f squares of the path coefficients. I know f squares = (R squares includes - R squares excluded) / (1 - R square included). I only have R squares for my LV and not for the path coefficients between Indicators and LV??!!
Many Thanks for Help!!!
Best Regards,
Kim
f squares and VIF
Hi Kim,
ad 1) You can check multicollinearity by using statistical programs like SPSS. Just look in the menue for analysis --> regression --> linear and define your equation. Check the box analysis of collinearity under statistcs. The report will provide the VIF and "Konditionsindex".
ad 2) You can find a good explanation of the f² in Bliemel et. al "Handbuch PLS-Pfadmodellierung" S. 84.
I hope I could help you, although I am a rookie as well...
