PLS-SEM data grouping issues

Post by Jratiff92 »

I’m trying to run a PLS-SEM for a total of 8 indicators. I’m having issues in grouping them as the software crashes or freezes my laptop.

Each indicator is tracked on a yearly basis for 33 different entities over ten years, and there are some missing inputs. I haven’t even been able to group anything. So I tried to drop 3 years but still the same issue, I’m aware missing inputs may be having an adverse effect but I don’t really think it’s that much data?

I have 8gb of ram and have increased memory usage to ~ 6gb.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
