CB‑SEM in SmartPLS
Theory Testing Without the Friction. All the fit indices you expect. None of the legacy pain.
Overview
SmartPLS brings CB‑SEM into the same visual workflow you love — so you can confirm theory with ML/MLR/ULS/GLS, inspect χ², CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR, and report fast.
Why It Matters
- Single environment: no context switching between tools.
- Reviewer‑ready: full fit index suite with standardized outputs.
- Method agility: compare CB‑SEM vs PLS‑SEM and PLSc in minutes.
Core Capabilities
- Estimator: ML
- model fit indices, residuals, standardized estimates.
- mediation, moderation, moderated-mediation, multi‑group, and measurement invariance assessment with bootstrap support
- confirmatory factor analysis
Use Cases
- Confirmatory theory tests.
- Cross‑checking PLS‑SEM results.
- Courses that teach both CB‑SEM and PLS‑SEM coherently.
