New open access book! Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Using R
Hair, J. F., Hult, G. T. M., Ringle, C. M., Sarstedt, M., Danks, N.P., & Ray, S. (2021). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Using R. Cham: Springer.
This practical guide provides a step-by-step treatment of the major choices facing researchers when applying partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using R, a free software environment for statistical computing, which runs on Windows, MacOS, and UNIX computer platforms. Adopting the R software’s SEMinR package, which brings a friendly syntax to creating and estimating structural equation models, each chapter offers a concise overview of relevant topics and metrics, followed by an in-depth description of a case study. Simple instructions give readers the “how-tos” of using SEMinR to obtain solutions and document their results. Rules of thumb in every chapter provide guidelines on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM.
This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access
