PLS-MGA Multigroup HTMT

Post by NRECUERO »

Hi everybody

I have a PLS-MGA where in one group HTMT ratio is not fulfilled (just by one correlation) and in the other group HTMT ratio is accomplished.

Why does it happen?
How can I justify this correlation (0.882)?


Thanks in advance for your help

Because you use different data to obtain the results of group 1 compared with group 2. Hence, the group-specific results differ.
How can I justify this correlation (0.882)?
Why don't you use the 0.90 cut-off criterion as suggested in this publication: http://link.springer.com/article/10.100 ... 014-0403-8 Then, things should look good.
