predicted values of y in SmartPLS 4

[jklstw]

Can we obtain something similar to the predicted values (y hat) in regression for independent variables in SEM analysis using SmartPLS? Thank you for assisting

[jmbecker]

Sure. You can use the estimated LV scores for the independent construct and calculate within-sample predictions for the dependent construct using the path coefficients.

You can also create out-of-sample predictions using k-fold cross-validation using PLSPredict.

Dear Dr. Jan-Michael Becker,

Thank you so much! I'll try it.
