Excel report; VIF

[Osito]

Dear smartpls User,

I installed smartpls 2.0 M3 in November 07.
1) Unfortunately I could not find the announced new EXCEL report type in the toolbar (under report).
2) It is required to test manifest variables in a formative block for multicollinearity. How can I calculate the variance inflation factor (VIF) in smartpls? Where do I find the VIF in smartpls output? Or do I have to calculate it in SPSS for example?

Thanks for your help!

Dear Jessica,

we are still looking for sponsors to include these features ;)

Feel free to choose one of the following options:

a) a bank transfer within Germany:
FIM - Universität Hamburg
Kto.nr.: 1238139057
BLZ: 20050550

b) an international bank transfer:
FIM - University of Hamburg
IBAN: DE17200505501238139057
BIC: HASPDEXX

Otherwise we are always happy, if people contribute to the features they need by providing cooking recipes (pseudo codes) and Excel examples.

In your particular case, regarding the VIF, a pseudo code with the relevant statical matrix computations would be perfect.

Would you compute the VIF with our without a constant term for regression. I have the feeling that most people report this value using a constant term while I would prefer the other option. The results heavily differ...

Cheers,
Christian
