Interpretation of latent variable scores

Post by schlueter.an@web.de »

Hello,

I would like to add to my work a kind of descriptive analysis to give first indications on the results. For this I plan to compare the results for the single indicators of the total sample and the top 10%.

My question is: May I also compare the results of the different measurement models? In SMART pls I see the latent variable scores after running pls in the overview of the results. Utilizing this scores I may focus my descriptive analysis. But, is it possible to analysis these as I do for the single indicators?

It would be great if anayone could give me a recommendation? Is it allowed? Are the latent variable score meaningful?

Thanks in advance!
Andrea
