As I am new to employing SmartPLS for PathAnalysis. I have a follow-up question on the thread here.
I have created my path model and calculated the model by applying the PLS algorithm.
As i understood so far I have to employ bootstrapping to get any t values on the e. g. path coefficients.
My settings for the bootstrap:
No sign change
121 cases (same as my sample size)
1000 samples
As a result SmartPLS tells me
"A singular matrix occured during estimation of the path coefficients using the path weighing scheme. Setting another weighing scheme could solve the problem."
First of all, I am not sure what a weighing scheme is.
However, I tried to run the Centroid and Factor weighing schme.
Now PLS reports that my sample size is to small.
Thanks for any help and advice!
