Hi there,
How can I know if the path is significant or not? in SPSS we can chick the p value. how can i get the p value in the PLS?. Alternatively, i know that the PLS gives the t-values, how can i know if the path is significant and the degree of the significance from the t-values.
thanks in advance

Hi Omar,
copy the t-values from SmartPLS to Excel and compute the p-values (or see a table of t-values in a Statistical book).
=DISTT(X, DF, TAIL)
X = t value
DF = number of samples in bootstrap - 1 (if you ran 1000 times, df =999)
TAIL = 2 = two tail
Best regards.

HI Omar,
probably it is a traduction problem, my Excel is in Portuguese.
Try TDIST(...) or something like this.
Best regards.
