Removing outliers

Post by stinegry »

Hi',

I have just tried to remove outliers from my data by looking at the factor scores in the 'latent variables score' table and identifying the ones with a value of 2.58 and above. However, after removing these my R square went from 0.615 to 0.500. how can these be? Should the R not be higher after removing the outliers?

I have used the directions from this link:http://faculty.chass.ncsu.edu/garson/PA ... tm#plspath

Can anyone help?
I thank you in advance.

Regards,

Stine
