What is SmartPLS – SEM?
In the recent years, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is used frequently by many researchers. Rightfully so, as it is a powerful tool, that combines t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression to produce a complex model of data structures. SEM is a statistical approach to test hypotheses that examines relationship between observed and latent variables. In this approach, theoretical framework containing linear relationship between variables are tested. There are two approaches to SEM. Covariance based SEM (CB SEM) and Partial least squares method (PLS SEM). AMOS supports CB SEM while SmartPLS is used to construct PLS SEM.
Takeaway
This workshop will enable you to understand the concept of SEM using SmartPLS, its theory, skill to prepare data, construct a model with your own data, troubleshoot and interpret the goodness of fit indices and evaluate measurement and structural paths.
