HTMT Higher order construct

[badr gbaoui]

Hello to all the Smart PLS community, please is the smart PLS 4 version able to calculate the HTMT for higher order constructs or is it done manually as on smart PLS 3? thank you.

If you follow the disjoint two-stage approach that is nowadays usually recommended there are no problems with manual calculation.
If you choose to follow some repeated-indicator approach, you have to do it manually.

Hello Community
I have a question regarding HTMT criterion. Do I have to have use it as part of my analysis or I can rely only on Furnel Lercker criterion instead?
Note: I am employing the two stage analysis .

Fornell Larker criterion is outdated and most reviewers will request HTMT criterion to assess discriminant validity.
