Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is a statistical multivariate analysis method which combines linear relationship and regression analysis methodologies.
Path analysis model is a statistical method used for establishing a causal relationship between variables. It is used when there are multiple variables in a study.
Confirmatory Composite Analysis (CCA) is a type of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis which develops composites to assess the relationship between variables.
A number of tests such as maximum likelihood, generalized least squares, unweighted least squares, scale-free least squares, Bayesian estimation, and Browne’s asymptotically distributed free criterion can be easily applied in the SPSS Amos interface.
SEM is used to build structural links between measured variables and latent constructs. This article provides a detailed description of the SEM analysis procedures.
The principles of validity and reliability in SEM are used to assess the quality of research. They reflect the accuracy with which a method, approach, or test measures a problem.
