Number of latents The same number of factors will be extracted for PLS responses as for PLS factors. The researcher must specify how many latents to extract (in SPSS the default is 5). There is no one criterion for deciding how many latents to employ. Common alternatives are: 1. Cross-validating the model with increasing numbers of factors, then choosing the number with minimum prediction error...

Pls regression is a recent technique that generalizes and combines features from principal component analysis and multiple regression. It is particularly useful when we need to predict a set of dependent variables from a (very) large set of independent variables (i.e., predictors). It originated in the social sciences (specifically economy, Herman Wold 1966) but became popular first in chemomet...

Two complementary schools have come to the fore in the field of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM): covariance-based SEM and component-based SEM. The first approach has been developed around Karl Jöreskog and the second one around Herman Wold under the name "PLS" (Partial Least Squares). Hwang and Takane have proposed a new component-based SEM method named Generalized Structured Component Anal...

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...
