Robustness tests in PLS-SEM: Video for the Qatar Chapter of the Decision Sciences Institute

The so-called "robustness" tests that some refer to, in connection with PLS-SEM, are generally tests of: nonlinearity, common method bias, and endogeneity. In WarpPLS, nonlinearity can be tested via full latent growth, commom method bias via FCVIFs, and endogeneity via instrumental variables. The video linked below covers most of these issues.

This video is of a presentation to faculty and students at the Qatar Chapter of the Decision Sciences Institute on the topics of factor-based PLS-SEM (PLSF-SEM), endogeneity, and common method bias. (SEM = structural equation modeling.) Addressing these issues helps with publishing in top-tier information systems and decision sciences journals, among others.

Best regards to all!
