Which algorithms and procedures does SmartPLS offer?
More details are available in the documentation section of our website.
SmartPLS lets you run the latest algorithms, tests, and analyses:
- Partial least squares (PLS) path modeling algorithm including consistent PLS (PLSc)
- Weighted PLS (and PLSc) path modeling algorithm
- Ordinary least squares regression based on sumscores
- Advanced bootstrapping options
- Discriminant validity testing using HTMT
- Several PLS fit measures (e.g., SRMR, exact fit, NFI, RMS_theta)
- Blindfolding
- Hierarchical component models (second-order models)
- Mediation
- Moderation (interaction effects)
- Nonlinear relationships (e.g. quadratic effect)
- Importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA)
- Multi-group analysis (MGA)
- Permutation-based multi-group analysis
- Measurement invariance assessment (MICOM)
- Confirmatory tetrad analysis (CTA)
- Finite mixture (FIMIX) segmentation
- Prediction-oriented segmentation (POS)
- PLS Predict
