چکیده

Generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) is a component-based approach to structural equation modeling (SEM), where latent variables are approximated by weighted composites of indicators. It has no formal mechanism to incorporate errors in indicators, which in turn renders components prone to the errors as well. We propose to extend GSCA to account for errors in indicators explicitly. This extension, called GSCAM, considers both common and unique parts of indicators, as postulated in common factor analysis, and estimates a weighted composite of indicators with their unique parts removed. Adding such unique parts or uniqueness terms serves to account for measurement errors in indicators in a manner similar to common factor analysis. Simulation studies are conducted to compare parameter recovery of GSCAM and existing methods. These methods are also applied to fit a substantively well-established model to real data.

Why generalized structured component analysis is not universally preferable to structural equation modeling

Generalized structured component analysis has emerged in marketing and psychometric literature as an alternative to structural equation modeling. A recent simulation study recommends that, in most cases, this analysis is preferable to structural equation modeling because it outperforms the latter when the model is misspecified. This article examines the characteristics of generalized structured...

A Methodological Comparison between PLS Path Modeling and Generalized Structured Component Analysis

PLS Path Modeling and Generalized Structured Component Analysis are two component-based approaches to Structural Equation Models. Both methods aim at estimating the causal relationships linking two or more latent variables by means of a set of observed indicators. Moreover, both methods define the latent variable as a linear combination of its own observed variables, i.e. as a component. The ma...

Existence and Uniqueness Results for a Nonstandard Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities with Application

‎This paper aims at establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a nonstandard variational-hemivariational inequality. The solutions of this inequality are discussed in a subset $K$ of a reflexive Banach space $X$. Firstly, we prove the existence of solutions in the case of bounded closed and convex subsets. Secondly, we also prove the case when $K$ is compact convex subsets. Fina...
