Structural Equation Modelling for small samples
نویسنده
چکیده
Covariance-based SEM is usually used with an objective of model validation and needs a large sample (what is large varies from an author to another: more than 100 subjects and preferably more than 200 subjects are often mentioned). Component-based SEM is mainly used for score computation and can be carried out on very small samples. A research based on 6 subjects has been published by Tenenhaus, Pagès, Ambroisine & Guinot (2005) and will be used in this paper.
