Hi
I need to do power analysis using the technique mentioned in this paper. For that, I need error terms. I have reflective and formative variables in my research model. How can I find error terms for these variables(formative)?

Thank you

Re: Error terms
For the approach you need the error variance. For reflective measures these can easily be calculated as 1-loading^2. For example, a loading of 0.7 has 1-0.7^2=0.51 error variance and a loading of 0.8 has 1-0.8^2=0.36 error variance (as also shown in their example).
Formative measures are assumed to be error free in PLS (i.e., composite indicators). Thus, the error variance of the construct should be zero.
