08:00-11:00 Session 13A: PLS-SEM Workshop

Lucy Matthews (Middle Tennessee State University) will conduct a seminar on PLS-SEM, an alternative to traditional CB-SEM. The variance-based PLS method produces reliable parameter estimates with latent variables—even with small sample sizes (N = 50) and with data distributions that lack normality. As a basis of comparison, large samples of N = 200 with normal distributions for variables are generally required with traditional approaches to structural equation modeling. This session will be especially valuable to those working with survey methods or secondary data. The workshop with be “hands-on” using the SmartPLS software (provided free) and does not require an extensive background in statistics to benefit. Click here for more info.
