Check out the new SmartPLS 3 software for partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The new software offers many features such as• Partial least squares (PLS) path modeling algorithm (including consistent PLS)• Ordinary least squares regression based on sumscores• Advanced bootstrapping options• Blindfolding• Importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA)• Multi-group analysis (MGA)• Hierarchical component models (second-order models)• Nonlinear relationships (e.g. quadratic effect)• Confirmatory tetrad analysis (CTA)• Finite mixture (FIMIX) segmentation• Prediction-oriented segmentation (POS)• and more...Particularly impressive are the easy-to-use graphical interface, the in-build documentation, and the nicely layouted results reports. In addition to its default report, SmartPLS offers a very useful Excel-Report and the possibility to export the results to R.Try it out for yourself!
