A multiple covariance approach to PLS regression with several predictor groups: Structural Equation Exploratory Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract : A variable group Y is assumed to depend upon R thematic variable groups X 1, ..., X R . We assume that components in Y depend linearly upon components in the Xr's. In this work, we propose a multiple covariance criterion which extends that of PLS regression to this multiple predictor groups situation. On this criterion, we build a PLS-type exploratory method Structural Equation Exploratory Regression (SEER) that allows to simultaneously perform dimension reduction in groups and investigate the linear model of the components. SEER uses the multidimensional structure of each group. An application example is given.

Single missing data imputation in PLS-SEM
An important source of bias in structural equation modeling (SEM) employing the partial least squares method (PLS) is missing data. Deletion methods, such as listwise and pairwise deletion, have traditionally been used to deal with missing data. These methods are perceived as leading to selective loss of data and significant related biases. Missing data imputation methods, on the other hand, do...
متن کاملDecreases in Posttest Variance and The Measurement of Change
A Monte Carlo study was used to evaluate the effects of reductions in posttest variance on several methods for detecting predictors of change in a two-wave design. When the predictor was dichotomous, the analysis of covariance approach was compared to the analysis of variance on difference scores. For a continuous predictor, partial correlations, difference score correlations with the predictor...
متن کاملConsistent and asymptotically normal PLS estimators for linear structural equations
A vital extension to partial least squares (PLS) path modeling is introduced: consistency. While maintaining all the strengths of PLS, the consistent version provides two key improvements. Path coefficients, parameters of simultaneous equations, construct correlations, and indicator loadings are estimated consistently. The global goodness-of-fit of the structural model can also now be assessed,...
متن کاملModeling Reflective Higher-Order Constructs using Three Approaches with PLS Path Modeling: A Monte Carlo Comparison
Many studies in the social sciences are increasingly modeling higher-order constructs. PLS can be used to investigate models at a higher level of abstraction (Lohmöller, 1989). It is often chosen due to its’ ability to estimate complex models (Chin, 1998). The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate the relative robustness of various item and construct characteristics on the reproduction o...
متن کاملNonlinear Structural Equation Modeling: Is Partial Least Squares an Alternative?
Nonlinear structural equation modeling provides many advantages over analyses based on manifest variables only. Several approaches for the analysis of latent interaction effects have been developed within the last 15 years, including the partial least squares product indicator approach (PLS-PI), the constrained product indicator approach using the LISREL software (LISREL-PI), and the distributi...
