Conduct PLS-SEM using Stata

[Patrick Fang]

Hi,

is there any Stata ado that can implement Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)?

I'm having the same issue. Patrick, please let me know if you have found a solution.

Calling PLS a SEM technique is perhaps the most misleading thing that you can say about it. But if you want do PLS, here is a package for you:
net install pls, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr...ataPLS/master/)
help plus

The package will calculate PLS composites, after which you can get the estimates with regress. See the package documentation for details.

The PLS module is now available on SSC

ssc install pls
