how to deal with recursive models?

Post by sah579 »

hello,

I have a recursive model (with feedback loops) and I know that PLS cannot handle recursive models. How can I solve or deal with this situation while using PLS. I guess adding the same construct again in the same model would be incorrect, am I right? Any suggestions that might be a good as an alternative or might solve part of this situation?

Thanks!

Hi Shatha,
Your model is recursive or non-recursive?
If reciprocal is non-recursive and PLS can't handle this but used CB-SEM package (AMOS, EQS, LISREL, Mplus).
For your technique with 2x estimation same construct, I think not appropriate because not simultan and result bias method => CMB.
