Title: “Structural Equation Models, PLS Path Modelling and Multi-block Techniques in Sensory and Consumer Analysis – Methods, Applications and Software”
Date: 15th May 2008
Location: ESSEC Business School, Cergy-Pontoise (Paris, France)
The participation in the Seminar is open to all interested people and it is free of charge.
Xitao Fan and Stephen A. Sivo provide a very good resource for any researcher whishing to carry out a Monte Carlo Simulation within the SEM framework. The simulation design and the data conditions are not only documented in an ideal fashion, but also very accessible to read. Furthemore, they show how to cope with and, furthermore, to respond and incorporate the reviewers’ comments. The only downer is the some lack of documentation. If the authors would have published their paper in the Teacher’s Corner of “Structural Equation Modeling”, readers would have benefited from the SAS commands being used in this study. Anyway, read this paper!
Recently, Jesús Rosel and Ian Plewis provided a fine and very accessible introduction into different structural equation modeling concepts.
