Feb 26-27 (at 6PM-10PM EST) online SEM workshop using SmartPLS

[Geoffrey Hubona]

(I apologize for any possible cross-posts)

This is the final announcement of a February 26-27 (at 6PM-10PM EST (GMT-5)) online Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) workshop using SmartPLS for faculty, practitioners, and students. Registration will be open through February 22^nd. The cost for faculty and/or practitioners is $250 (USD). The cost for full-time students is $150 (USD) (using the discount code 'student7' while registering for the workshop). There is more information about the workshop content and procedures for registering at the registration site: https://www.regonline.com/smartpls-feb-26-27-2010 (please copy and paste the url, do not click on it)

Please note that we return a portion of the revenue from this workshop to the respective University’s software development team to keep the cost and availability of SmartPLS free for academic use.

In cooperation with: (1) the University of Hamburg (http://www.uni-hamburg.de) and SmartPLS (http://www.smartpls.de); (2) Radboud University (http://www.ru.nl) and PLS-School (http://www.PLS-school.com); and (3) faculty at Georgia State University (http://www.gsu.edu), we are offering a globally-available synchronous, live, interactive, video- and audio-supported online workshop for structural equation modeling (SEM) partial least squares (PLS) path modeling using SmartPLS. This live, synchronous, globally-available online workshop is conducted using the award-winning eLearning platform Elluminate Live ! The purpose of the online workshop is to inform participants of the uses and applications of PLS path modeling using SmartPLS and to provide live, "hands-on" demonstrations of the basic and intermediate techniques of using SmartPLS.

The workshop consists of two integrated sessions on two consecutive days. All that is required to participate is a fast, reliable Internet connection (not dial-up) and a set of inexpensive headphones with a microphone (cost: $13 anywhere). There is no cost for participants to use the Elluminate Live ! platform. Participants receive: (1) the SmartPLS software; (2) all training materials, data sets, and slides from the training sessions; (3) abundant literature regarding PLS path modeling; and (4) access to high-fidelity reproductions of all of the presented live material after the workshop is completed (on Internet-provided recordings available free of charge for three months following the workshop). These workshop recordings are for individual participant use only, and include all video, audio and "hands-on" demonstrations and exercises.

In addition to an introduction to PLS path modeling using SmartPLS, the following topics (in addition to others) are included:

CB-SEM vs. PLS-SEM
SmartPLS Visual Interface
Scale Development
Bootstrapping vs. Jackknifing
Blindfolding
PLS Algorithm
Theory Testing vs. Prediction
Assessment of PLS Path modeling estimates (measurement model and structural model)
            Reflective vs. Formative
Interpreting SmartPLS Output
Overall Goodness-of-Fit
Effect Size
Reflective vs. Formative indicators
Second-order Factor Models
Mediating Factors
            Assessing the effect
Moderating Factors
            Product indicator approach
            Group differences approach
            Three-Way Interactions
            Determining strength of moderating effect
            Two-stage approach
Non-linear Effects
Multi-group Analysis
Heterogeneity, Segmentation and FIMIX-PLS

The workshop agenda approximates the following schedule. There are seven separate learning modules in each workshop, five of which conclude with a “hands-on” exercise using SmartPLS with existing data sets (provided).

DAY 1
1)    Introduction to PLS, Latent Constructs, SEM and SmartPLS
2)    Basic path modeling with SmartPLS
           Basic path modeling exercise – TAM model data
3)    Evaluating PLS path models
           Model evaluation exercise – UTAUT model data
DAY 2
1)    PLS algorithm, bootstrapping, jackknifing and blindfolding
2)    Mediation
           Mediation exercise – Social presence model data
3)    Moderating variables
           Moderation exercise – UTAUT moderating relationships
4)    Second order models, multi-group analysis, heterogeneous data and FIMIX-PLS
           FIMIX-PLS exercise – UTAUT heterogeneous data

Dear all,
 
I keep on having this problem handling the multiple responses questions with SPSS / PASW
i've been checking for a solution for this problem for a long time, red so many posts regarding the same issue but couldn't find what i want.
i would really appreciate any help regarding this.
 
here is the issue i'm facing in details.
 
in several questions among the same questionnaire were the multiple responses are possible.
for example
 
i'm having a question with 10 answer selection
the row data for that question - for example - if i select answers 3,4 & 7.. will be as follows
 
0011001000
 
now exporting this data to SPSS will create 10 variables, 1 var for each statement with values 1=mentioned & 0=not mentioned
what can i do to get the results in SPSS / PASW in one variable with the percentages / frequencies for each statement distributed ?
 
same process i can do using a data processing software (NIPO - DIANA)
 
what are the steps in SPSS / PASW that i should follow to get the results for the question were each statement shows it's own freq. / percentage instead of getting each statement in a separate variable ?
 
 
 
 
thanks and best regards,
 
M.Aayed

Dear M.Aayed

If you have the then variables with 0 and 1, you can agregate the data and then calculate the percentage of each response pattern:

DATASET DECLARE count.
AGGREGATE
  /OUTFILE='count'
  /BREAK=v01 v02 v03 v04 v05 v06 v07 v08 v09 v10
  /count=N.

DATASET ACTIVATE count.
AGGREGATE
  /OUTFILE=* MODE=ADDVARIABLES
  /BREAK=
  /total_cases=SUM(count).

COMPUTE percent=(count / total_cases) *100.
EXECUTE.

I hope this helps

Use the MULT RESPONSE procedure or CTABLES. Look in Help for details.
