Hello, All
I am finding your good suggestion on data, normal or non-normal distribution in PLS.
Please give me a tip for following questions:
1. How to report normal or non-normal distribution of data in PLS ?
2. Which tool is a good to use for calculating univariate and multivariate normality ?
3. In PLS literatures, Do they follow the assumption of Normality ? In real, it is hard to follow its rule.
Please anyone show your thinking and relevant references.
Best regards,
Ken

Hi,
1 and 2)
Univariate: histogram + Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Multivariate: PK-Mardia test
3) PLS-PM hasn't this assumption, it is nonparametric (based on boostrap).
