Beyond linearity - a new Partial Least Squares - Path Modelling (PLS-PM) inner weighting scheme for detecting and approximating nonlinear structural relationships in Structural Equation Models

A new inner weighting scheme for Partial Least Squares – Path Modelling (PLS-PM) is proposed to detect and approximate nonlinear structural relationships in Structural Equation Models (SEM). PLS-PM is an iterative method used for the estimation of Structural …

Introduction Partial Least Squares Path Modelling (PLS-PM) is one of the approaches used for estimation [1] of Structural Equation Models (SEM) [2,3], a widely used analytical tool for assessing pla… [+47641 chars]
