Very Small Sample size
Very Small Sample size
I have small sample size (18 cases) with seven constructs. I ran the model by using PLS and I got reasonable results. however, i have not run the model totally, I ran each two constructs separately. Please, is there any problem with what I did (ran the model with each two constructs separately)?

Hi,
If 18 is not the population…
This sample makes sense?
With only two cases we could have R2 = 100%, certainly this not make sense, but with 18, we could have the same problem.
