bootstrapping - cases ans samples

Post by vdubois »

Hi!

I would actually like to find the t-values of my hypothesized paths BUT, to conduct the "bootstrap" procedure, I have to insert a certain number of cases (default value: 100) and samples (default value: 200). What these numbers correspond to if I have a sample of 158 observations?

Thank you for your reply!

case 158= number of observations

Sample size: big enough that t value is stable. some professors recommend 5000.
Do the formative by using PLS!!
