Report: Index value - PSL Results

Post by fabio.colacchio »

Hi,
I am checking the report of a model I run. I have found Path coefficients both under "PLS/Calculation results" and "Index value results". What is the difference? Which one should I look at if I want to determine the strenght of a predictor on the dependent variable?
Thanks a lot
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
Index value results --> unstandardized results
PLS/Calculation results --> standardized results (betas).

Standardized is easier to interpret (What is weak and what is strong?).
Best regards.
