SmartPLS
Please install the software and try out the basic steps. As this is an advanced class, it is good to get familiar with the software. Do not download the software at the last minute as it will take some time to download and at times there might be downloading problems. Below are some files that could help you get familiar with the software and method.

Workshop Details
This 2-day workshop will introduce the use of structural equation modeling (SEM is a family of statistical models that seek to explain the relationships among multiple variables) which is the most popular analysis software at the moment. This workshop will help postgraduate students/new researchers to do analysis using the SmartPLS software and assist them in presenting data professionally. This workshop will use practical hands on approach with real research data sets using research questions that can be answered with the data available. Some useful tips on how and where to get published will be given. For all participants, some knowledge of statistics, linear regression, and the characteristics of normal random variables and probability distributions will be helpful.

OUtline of workshop
This is an extension to the basic PLS workshop. Working on the basic PLS workshop this workshop will recap some of the key lessons learnt in the basic PLS workshop before moving on to the analysis of more advanced models in moderation and mediation. This workshop will also expose participants to some of the more useful analysis of importance performance matrix analysis (IPMA) which can be used to identify priority areas to focus the implications before exposing participants to the segmentation analysis to identify “unobserved heterogeneity”.
