The Impact of Missing Values on PLS Model Fitting

چکیده
The analysis of interactive marketing campaigns frequently requires the investigation of latent constructs. Consequently, structural equation modeling is well established in this domain. Noticeably, the Partial-Least-Squares (PLS) algorithm is gaining popularity in the analysis of interactive marketing applications which may be attributed to its accuracy and robustness when data are not normally distributed. Moreover, the PLS algorithm also appraises incomplete data. This study reports from a simulation experiment in which a set of complete observations is blended with different patterns of missing values. We consider the impacts on the overall model fit, the outer model fit, and the assessment of significance by bootstrapping. Our results cast serious doubts on PLS algorithms’ ability to cope with missing values in a data set.

Background Policy makers need models to be able to detect groups at high risk of HIV infection. Incomplete records and dirty data are frequently seen in national data sets. Presence of missing data challenges the practice of model development. Several studies suggested that performance of imputation methods is acceptable when missing rate is moderate. One of the issues which was of less concern...

In large–scale sampling opeartions (e.g. nation-wide health surveys) we always face the problem of non-response item(s) and/or non-response unit(s). In fitting a model to the data we have two groups of variables, namely dependent and independent variables. Non-response may occur for any of these groups of variables. In this paper we assume Y as a categorical dependent variable with three levels...

There are numerous methods to estimate missing values of which some are used depending on the data type and regional climatic characteristics. In this research, part of the monthly precipitation data in Sarab synoptic station, east Azerbaijan province, Iran was randomly considered missing values. In order to study the effectiveness of various methods to estimate missing data, by seven classic s...
