The main goal of this workshop is to give participants a practical understanding of how to use the software WarpPLS to conduct variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM). The workshop is very hands-on and covers linear and nonlinear applications.

Day 1 of workshop
• Overview of workshop and formation of teams
• Overview of web resources: Video clips, blog, publications, spreadsheets, and templates
• Overview of steps 1 to 5 of a complete SEM analysis
• Hands-on exercise: Steps 1 to 5 of a complete SEM analysis
• Resampling as shuffling multiple decks of cards
• Choosing the right resampling method
• Hands-on exercise: Changing the resampling method
• Choosing the right warping (i.e., nonlinear) algorithm
• Viewing plots of linear and nonlinear relationships
• Hands-on exercise: Changing the warping algorithm and viewing plots
• Charting non-standardized data
• Hands-on exercise: Charting non-standardized data
