Relative Gof

Post by davidal »

Dear PLS users,

I was wondering how to estimate a relative Gof with SmartPLS (if possible).
The relative GOF is computed by dividing the absolute GOF value by its maximum value achievable for the analysed set.
In practical terms, how is estimated the maximum Gof value for a given set ?

Thanks for answers.

Hi David,

How to compute GoF?
TENENHAUS, M.; VINZI, V. E.; CHATELIN, Y.; LAURO, C. (2005). PLS path modeling. Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, v.48, p.159-205.

What are the thresholds?
WETZELS, M.; ODEKERKEN-SCHRÖDER, G. & VAN OPEN, C. (2009). Using PLS path modeling for assessing hierarchical construct models: guidelines and empirical illustration. MIS Quarterly, 33 (1), pp. 177-195. [see p.187]

I do not know about “relative GoF”. Do you have some reference? Or is it your idea?
Thinking quickly, the maximum GoF will be 1.

Best regards,

Bido

Hi bibo,

for the relative gof you can see e.g. : Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi, Laura Trinchera, and Silvano Amato (2010) PLS Path Modeling: From Foundations to Recent Developments and Open Issues for Model Assessment and Improvement (PLS handbook). This paper is available online (relative gof is presented on p. 59).

Thank you for your help.

David
