I have run the bootstrapping algorithm on a PLS model with both reflexive and formative constructs. The model satisfies the 'rule of 10' (there are 140 observations) but I get the error message:
"Error occured during outside estimation-Maybe there are two few observations"
Has any one experienced this issue?
Errors in Bootstrapping
Errors in bootstrapping
I may have discovered the cause but I don't know whether there could be a system or algorithmic explanation. In my case I had a construct in the model that only had one indicator. That indicator only had three values and one value occured roughly 80% of the time. My guess is that one of the bootstrap samples may have only had a single value for this variable and so the OLS estimation failed

Right ! it's the same problem for me.
