Testing Models or Fitting Models? Identifying Model Misspecification in PLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a statistical technique that is widely used in the Information Systems discipline to estimate statistical models with structural equations and latent variables. While PLS does not provide a statistical test of model fit to data, its proponents have suggested a set of criteria that good PLS models should fulfill. Conversely, when a model does not satisfy these criteria, it would be judged a bad model. In this paper, we report on the results of a simulation study to examine to what extent the proposed model quality criteria are able to identify misspecified models.

On the effect of measurement model misspecification in PLS Path Modeling : the reflective case
The specification of a measurement model as reflective or formative is the object of a lively debate. Part of the existing literature focuses on measurement model misspecification. This means that a true model is assumed and the impact on the path coefficients of using a wrong model is investigated. The majority of these studies is restricted to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Regarding PLS...
متن کاملTesting the four models for prediction of gully head advancement (case study: Hableh Rood basin- Iran)
Gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive forms of water erosion. In order to prevent this erosion, the important factors advancing gully head must be recognized. Nowadays, several models have been proposed in measuring gully head advancement and identifying the severity of erosion. These models must be calibrated for each country to see whether they are applicable or not. So...
متن کاملTesting Several Rival Models Using the Extension of Vuong\'s Test and Quasi Clustering
The two main goals in model selection are firstly introducing an approach to test homogeneity of several rival models and secondly selecting a set of reasonable models or estimating the best rival model to the true one. In this paper we extend Vuong's method for several models to cluster them. Based on the working paper of Katayama $(2008)$, we propose an approach to test whether rival models h...
متن کاملA New High-order Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model Based on Deformed Linear Models
Amongst possible choices for identifying complicated processes for prediction, simulation, and approximation applications, high-order Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models are fitting tools. Although they can construct models with rather high complexity, they are not as interpretable as first-order TS fuzzy models. In this paper, we first propose to use Deformed Linear Models (DLMs) in consequence pa...
