Description

Estimate complex Structural Equation Models (SEMs) by fitting Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Partial Least Squares consistent Structural Equation Modeling (PLSc-SEM) specifications that handle categorical data, non-linear relations, and multilevel structures. The implementation follows Lohmöller (1989) for the classic PLS-SEM algorithm, Dijkstra and Henseler (2015) for consistent PLSc-SEM, Dijkstra et al., (2014) for nonlinear PLSc-SEM, and Schuberth, Henseler, Dijkstra (2018) for ordinal PLS-SEM and PLSc-SEM. Additional extensions are under development. References: Lohmöller, J.-B. (1989, ISBN:9783790803002). "Latent Variable Path Modeling with Partial Least Squares." Dijkstra, T. K., & Henseler, J.
