Good morning,
I do not understand how to calculate control variables (such as price, nº of clients, etc) in PLS? How do I codify the variables? How do I operate in PLS to get these inputs? Does it differ when operating with higher order constructs?
Thank you very much

Re: CONTROL VARIABLES PLS
You just add the data to you data file and model it as a single-indicator in PLS. You include a path from that single-indicator construct to your dependent construct in the path model to control for the influence of that variable.

Re: CONTROL VARIABLES PLS
And how do I analyze the control variable? In case it is significant, how do I interpret it?

Re: CONTROL VARIABLES PLS
Usually you don't explicitly interpret control variables. That is what distinguishes a control variable from a predictor variable for which you have a hypothesis. You only want to control for potential effects.
