Dear, Professor

When i want to use PLS for confirmatory factor analysis,
and the data is in likert's scale, do i need to transform it to interval scale?

Hi,

In fact there is no way to do this kind of transformation (lower level of measure --> higher level).

We, usually, use the Likert scale as if it was interval, directly in SmartPLS.

Best regards,
