Stop Criterion Changes

[Choukri]

Hi,
Sorry, how can I understand if the stop criterion of the algorithm was reached and not the maximum number of iterations or not?

[jmbecker]

Well you see the number of Iterations in the report "Stop Criterion Changes" (number of rows). If the number of Iterations was smaller than the maximum number of iterations defined, the algorithem stopped because of the stop criterion.

Thank you Dr. Jan-Michael Becker for your help

The stop criterion (10^-x): 7 is defined in smartpls algorithm, when I use my conceptual model with main effects; and after runing PLS algorithm, the number of rows (Stop Criterion Changes) will be 6. and when I use my conceptual model with main + moderating effects; the number of rows (Stop Criterion Changes) will be 3.

Is the number 6 (number of rows) sufficient?
How about the number 3 (number of rows) of moderating effects?

Thank again Dr. Jan-Michael Becker

[jmbecker]

It says that your model converges in 3 or 6 iterations. That is good (fast)! The longer it takes (the more iterations) the higher is the likelihood for problems in your model.

You are so kind Doctor,
Thank you

Good morning,

In the paper (A new criterion for assessing discriminant validity in variance-based structural equation modeling) that you added a vedio on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwo2cBtT_xo)

The authors ,in the table 6, utilized the following expretion: CI.900 [0.612;0.652]
I understand that CI means “Confidence Intervals”, but I do not understand what the two values [0.612;0.652] mean?

Where do I find them in smartPLS

Tank you Sir

Good morning,

The authors, Henseler et al. (2015), P. 129, in the table 6, utilized the following expretion: CI.900 [0.612;0.652]
I understand that CI means “Confidence Intervals”, but I do not understand what the two values [0.612;0.652] mean?
Where do I find them in smartPLS

It's the lower and the upper bound of the confidence interval.

Thank you Professor for your help

CI.900 [0.612;0.652]
Does CI.900 mean CI 90% ?
if it is yes.
Does the bootstrapping calculat CI automatically with 90% or what?

Thank you

[cringle]

Sure 90% - and that's what SmartPLS computes. More info on confidence intervals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

[Choukri]

Great Professor
Thank you

[Choukri]

Hi,
To calculate Confidence Intervals, should I use bootstrapping with one-tailed or two tailed
Thank you

[Choukri]

Hi everyone,

I have found that the researchers have used the following expretion in their articles, [based on t(4999), one-tailed test], why do they not use this one [based on t(5000), one-tailed test]

I look forward to hear your responds
Thank you
