RED CONSTRUCTS

Post by ALIUKM »

THE CONSTRUCTS HAVE SEVERAL DIMENSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THE CONSTRUCTS ARE RED AND I CAN NOT PROCEED FOR PLS ALGORITHM. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I DO NOT WANT TO IGNORE THE DIMENSIONS

All constructs need indicators in PLS. Therefore you need to use approaches that try to identify the second-order constructs, which are usually either the repeated indicator approach or the two-stage approach.

You can find information on this issue in the following publications:
