how to improve r square?

Post by jackl »

Hello,

im currently working on my master thesis and i have the problem that the r² value of my dependent variable is too low (0,410).
But due to the predictive research in my master thesis i want to increase the r² value of my dependent variable to 0,710.

But how?

Thanks for any advices!

Hi,

1st idea) With more predictive LV, maybe the R2 will increase.

For instance, in ECSI studies:
2 predictors --> 44% < R2 (mean) < 52%
3 or 4 predictors --> 67% < R2 (mean) < 79%

2nd idea) Using AMOS or LISREL (covariance based) there is a tendency of structural results to be bigger than PLS-PM.
