Structural Parameters under Partial Least Squares and Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling: A Comment on Yuan and Deng (2021)

Florian Schuberth et al.

Summary: In their article, Yuan and Deng argue that if a structural parameter is zero under covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM), then it is also zero under partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). They conclude that null hypothesis tests on individual structural parameters can achieve the same purpose in CB-SEM and PLS-SEM. However, our response highlights that this relationship between PLS-SEM and CB-SEM structural parameters is not universally valid, and therefore, tests on individual parameters in CB-SEM and PLS-SEM generally do not fulfill the same purpose.

Premature conclusions about the signal-to-noise ratio in structural equation modeling research: A commentary on Yuan and Fang (2023)

Florian Schuberth et al.

Summary: This article compares structural equation modeling (SEM) and regression analysis in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The findings suggest that regression analysis with composites yields smaller standard errors and higher SNR. However, our commentary argues that the assumptions and claims made in the original study are incorrect, and thus, further research is required before drawing any conclusions.

Conducting Monte Carlo simulations with PLS-PM and other variance-based estimators for structural equation models: a tutorial using the R package cSEM

Tamara Schamberger

Summary: This article introduces a new method of using Monte Carlo simulations to verify the statistical properties of structural equation models. It also introduces an R package, cSEM, which can be used to estimate variance-based structural equation models and perform Monte Carlo simulations.

Rejoinder: fractures in the edifice of PLS

Mikko Roenkkoe et al.

Summary: This study aims to respond to Yuan's commentary on the paper Marketing or Methodology in this issue of EJM. The authors find that some of Yuan's arguments are incorrect, or unclear. Yuan's commentary actually provides additional reasons to avoid partial least squares (PLS) in marketing research, supporting the earlier conclusions of the paper.

Which method is more powerful in testing the relationship of theoretical constructs? A meta comparison of structural equation modeling and path analysis with weighted composites

Lifang Deng et al.

Summary: This article compares the differences between path analysis with composite scores and structural equation modeling (SEM) in terms of effect size and statistical power, and finds that SEM with Bartlett-factor scores and the partial least-squares approach perform the best.

A Structural After Measurement Approach to Structural Equation Modeling

Yves Rosseel et al.

Summary: Investigating structural relations between variables is crucial in social and behavioral sciences, and the SAM framework offers a robust estimation method. Compared to traditional SEM, SAM demonstrates better resilience against statistical biases and convergence issues in small samples.

The impact of scaling methods on the properties and interpretation of parameter estimates in structural equation models with latent variables

Eric Klopp et al.

Summary: This paper provides a framework to translate estimates obtained under different scaling methods, explore the relation between underlying population parameters and their estimates, and demonstrate that the choice of scaling method affects the power of the Wald test for testing parameters' significance.

Equivalence of Partial-Least-Squares SEM and the Methods of Factor-Score Regression

Ke-Hai Yuan et al.

Summary: Research shows that different combinations of factor scores in PLS-SEM and factor-score regression analysis are statistically equivalent in prediction and parameter testing, while PLS-SEM mode B is equivalent to factor-score regression analysis when the model is correctly specified. A structure-based transformation from mode A to mode B may perform well in practice.
