🚀 PLS‑SEM in SmartPLS — The Gold Standard for Predictive SEM
The most popular PLS‑SEM platform worldwide. Built for speed, robustness, and publication‑grade results.
Overview
SmartPLS pioneered PLS‑SEM with an interface that makes complex models fast and transparent — from bootstrapping to predictive Q², PLSc, and higher‑order constructs.
Why It Matters
- Prediction focus: maximize out‑of‑sample performance.
- Flexible with data: handles non‑normality and small samples well.
- Deep toolkit: MGA, IPMA, blindfolding, fsQCA, and more.
Core Capabilities
- Bootstrapping with BCa CIs, PLSc, HTMT, SRMR.
- Multi‑group analysis (PLS‑MGA, permutation).
- Hierarchical component models (repeated indicator, two‑stage, hybrid).
- Prediction metrics (PLSpredict, Q²) and importance‑performance (IPMA).
- Moderation, mediation, moderated-mediation, conditional process analysis
Use Cases
- Theory development & prediction in management, IS, marketing, and social sciences.
- Complex models with formative composites and interactions.
- Dissertation‑level modeling with transparent, reviewer‑friendly outputs.
