Introduction
This book provides a hands-on introduction to PartialLeast Squares Path Modeling using the R package plspm.Although there are a few texts that cover the theoretical aspects of PLS PathModeling (PLS-PM) with some applications to real data, there are virtually no textbooksthat teach how to use PLS Path Modeling and how to handle its broad range of applicationswith the existing PLS-PM software. The goal of this book is to introduce you tothe world of PLS-PM using plspm and R throughpractical examples; teach you the basics so that you can analyze your own data;and even turn you into a confident PLS-PM user who can try out differentanalysis options.
